"A Better Life Through Complete and Total Suicide"
I look through the hallways.
The walls and the floor and the ceiling
all stop me from expression.
Matter is an anchor.
There is too much here for me.
Leaving me with a rather unfufilled feeling.
This page is a boundary.
There are sides, there are edges
There are corners,
and if I try to write on it more than once
then everything is lost.
To the reader: Destroy this after you have read this.
There are a million skies in your eyes
and a million eyes in your skies
A million smiles in the stars
and a million stars in your smiles
It's all so physically beautiful
but utterly repulsing to my thought in every way
Oh, the rainbows we could represent if
all that is solid melted into air
if all that is holy was profaned
if everything was nothing
if nothing was everything
if we could let go of matter,
but not just let go of it,
but destroy it.
Science has said otherwise.
God has chained us to the floor,
by not letting us obliterate our anchor.
We are held back by something
we feel
we are
obligated to pay back in some way
emote:: stiff middle finger.
You may still enjoy the rainbow
and you may still tell me it's beautiful
Oh, write the most beautiful imagist
(But the pen, the paper, the rainbow,
and the writer
All of you are ******** holding me back.)
The eyes can only see so much
the ears can only hear what they're open to
if anything, my body is a crutch
How sweet the release.
This poetry is [attempted] suicide.
How many times I have let you feel me
but you're still so far from touching me
It's sick;; I'm sick;; Don't I want to live?
This poetry is suicide.

- I still like it, actually, though I do like the beginning more than the end, as the end is more of the ranty stuff. It helps that I sorta-kinda agree.
