In the end

By Steven86175

Let's pop bottles

And cut our wrists

Let's escape our promises

And act on impulse

Till the pulse is gone

Because tonight is our end

We could never find our place in this fucked up world and never have to try to again

So let's live it up like McConaughey

L-I-V-I-N

Because we're all disposable as well as replaceable

Let's escape this never ending journey through a pogonip

And go bottoms up

I'm gonna put my nose to this fine white chopped line and snort

Because I can't take it anymore

Life is a contact sport but I was destined for federal court.

When I die tonight I'll know I actually lived

Because most of us live life for the number of years

But I live it for the quality of them

Id rather live fast and fun to end short

Than to live long and do nothing

To be imprisoned in my own body

Giving myself my own life sentence.

So let tonight be the last

Drink everything that burns and bites

But now I taste blood from my nose

Running in a steady stream

Iv never felt so alive

Until I was dying.

    "I've never felt so alive, until I was dying", that line on its own is just so poignant, even without the context of the piece as a whole, but the body lends well to the overall impact it has. It's unfortunate, that people find this to be the case, I've come to the crossroads of suicide with many of the same troubled thoughts...only I had the good fortune of making it back alive, if my life hadn't been touched in just the right way, I wouldn't be here leaving this comment. Thank you for bringing light to this sad reality. Scholar
