Paper Gown Suicide

By freudian-slip

Every attempt made,
to eliminate all possible means,
to a self imposed end.

However-

he will prove them all wrong,
and curse the spirit sucking world,
for which he has known.

He will overcome all obstacles.

He will transcend.

Senseless-
to all those who care,
or display feigned sensitivity,
with their overcast stare.

Transparent empathy,

is far more destructive than anyone ever imagined.

Creative,
gum wrapper-like,
intertwined creation...

sets the lethal foundation.


It's the last imposition he will ever place upon his loved ones.

Despite his incarceration-

never again,
will anyone doubt his savvy determination.

Hanging from the ceiling,
like a cheap Christmas tree decoration.

    the ending of this was very interesting and abrupt, rather strong. I like that part the best. I wandered just a little bit in the begining, but it pulled me back in firmly for that last bit.

    in my thoughts he created the gum wrapper like twist, with his paper gown. I suppose a bit more sunlight and some human contact this weekend would help. lol

  • A former member wrote: not sure I followed this one close enough, but I got the idea he's hung himself in jail; but I'm not sure I understand the paper gown or the rage. I like the concluding image a lot though. Oh Okay... the gum wrappers were the means. OOP. Lil slow on the uptake there, sorry. I like the prop about empathy in the middle, too. A very opaque narrative and an intriguing event at that!
