There's more to life then dying
She wants to kill herself
She wants to tell me all about it
She has been considering a few methods and would like to know what I think of them
She likes my work here on DUP and respects my opinion
She wants me to select the method I find the most fitting and she'll go for it that way
She says it would be an honor to be dispatched by me
I told her to go die....of old age
She wants to tell me all about it
She has been considering a few methods and would like to know what I think of them
She likes my work here on DUP and respects my opinion
She wants me to select the method I find the most fitting and she'll go for it that way
She says it would be an honor to be dispatched by me
I told her to go die....of old age

Something's inside
You wish you were asleep.
You wish you weren't alive.
You wish so many things but you haven't opened your eyes.
You aren't real on the ground.
Just look at that beast in the mirror.
Don't you wish you could be free?
It couldn't be any clearer.
Sounds around you.
Are you scared?
Shrieks and screams ring.
Flesh and clothes flee.
Ripped from their homes.
Shhh...
You're safer alone you think.
But soon you realize.
That subtle note sings every time in bed you lie.
Bloodshots reappearing old...
You wish you weren't alive.
You wish so many things but you haven't opened your eyes.
You aren't real on the ground.
Just look at that beast in the mirror.
Don't you wish you could be free?
It couldn't be any clearer.
Sounds around you.
Are you scared?
Shrieks and screams ring.
Flesh and clothes flee.
Ripped from their homes.
Shhh...
You're safer alone you think.
But soon you realize.
That subtle note sings every time in bed you lie.
Bloodshots reappearing old...

Try Again
A 51 year old Canadian man suffering from hypothermia was hospitalized in Winnipeg after he jumped from a bridge four times. Police found him leaning over the railing of the bridge. Shivering & frostbitten, as he was about to plunge into the icy waters for the fifth time.
Despite the man's obvious determination, it is unclear why he didn't try a different method after the 1st attempt failed.

Final Moments
Please leave me alone
Let me die in solitude
I'll set myself free
Let me die in solitude
I'll set myself free

With each long breathtaking moment it starts to get easier
With each night that passes I start to go a little deeper
I was never this typa person, but wait I’m lyin
U just never even realized, that inside I was dyin
Boys don’t cry, men don’t cry, but I cry every fuckin day
I go to work, come home, and just cut my pain away
If you had one day to live would you tell anyone ??
If you had one day to live would you pick up that gun ??
That razor, that knife, or even that rope
Could you really end it all and just give up on hope ??
When it’s all...

Zero Carbon Footprint
Heading home
no more use for me here
Sew my eyelids shut
Immolate me to ashes
Or alternately,
if you'd prefer,
buy me some cheap underground real estate.
Or just chop me up and feed me to pigs.
Should cremation
rule the nation,
let me urn my keep
on your mantlepiece
with memories
of my stupid puns
Gotta run
I've run and run and run
Time to stagger past
the universal dateline
and be free
But with my luck,
there will be a seamless transition
to a hell to the millionth...

Angel Dust
Rats chewed the hands, lips and nose off a four month old baby in a fleabag apartment building across the street from me. The mother was on PCP. She had her head in the oven trying to kill herself. I asked her if she needed assistance. She said no. I helped her anyway.
People are so pathetic!
People are so pathetic!

Beautiful Death
Death always tried to seduced me
but despite all the hype
she never was my type
but despite all the hype
she never was my type

In Contempt
I do bury my pain down deep
at the bottom of this heap
out of sight ~ out of mind
always lost so I cannot then find
There is such sweet simplicity
in all of this deft duplicity…
plenty of blame to go around
until I am six feet underground
Though I never tied the noose
cancer remains my new excuse
my latest airtight alibi
for why I do not want to die
With no one to clean up this mess
I guess I will just have to confess
to crimes I did not commit
penned in a pure poetic vomit
...

Cold Chills
Mercury rising
Got a bad feeling
like wolves
on the horizon
A forest of eyes in the darkness
I'm crawling.
Lost with little to none,
slim chance to get out
of the slump
or the hole
or the pit
pick your poison.
What's the matter, aren't you used to
surviving?
A sea of ghosts
On the shipwrecked coasts
I'm as rotten as
I've been since departing.
Got a bad feeling

Note from the psych ward
I feel like I'm losing it, I can't hurt myself the way I want to in here. Instead, I feel parts of my soul burning in hell. I would rather feel the burn of my matches than the fires of hell below. The demons are smiling, they enjoy my torment, they know that they've done the worst. They are the ones who taught me to relentlessly torture myself. Does pain ever end? Even if it does its all for nothing. Hell is where there is no end, eternal suffering, a wasted sacrifice. I'll take my chances and hope this place isn't it. That's all I've got going for me. The hope of death. I hate the feeling of...
