The First Attempt

The silence screaming my name
I feel the steel against my tongue
Maybe this will find some fame
A squeeze away from taking the plunge

But too weak to pull the trigger
I fall back; a tired and broken sinner

Too many days fly by in fear
Of seeing to much and feeling to real
The words they speak I can not hear
Their oh so tired and rhetorical spiel

Adrift amongst my tortured thoughts
Wishing that they were blood clots

One day I too will fade
Like a flower exposed to light
Shriveling up in the sunlit glade
A victim of being bright

Dead before your watching eyes
Just another depressed fat guy
