7th Annual Poems About Suicide Month

[ambrosial revelation]

Hypothermia is cool as fuck
me and her gonna have fun.
Got my bottle of vodka and 5g of smack,
can't wait for the fun to begin.
Found a spot in the mountains
where i can have fun for weeks.

Last regret

Eyelids trap the sun's warmth under
fishies swimming in them.
Light breeze giving her goosebumps,
she shivers, gulping down.


Scarcely telling,
when the ground beneath her turned to air
or when the voices gave up,
her eyes remained shut
and her breath steady.


Somersaulting down
she got thirsty
and wished she had a glass of water
before doing this.

...staying on topic btw, no need to worry

To be fair, that was funny.

Are you seriously on another planet?
What is funny about it?
Stop trolling!!

[Mark A Becker]

no one could retrieve
your message in a bottle
lost in raging seas

it had drifted out of reach
crashing on a rocky beach

When life gets hard
sucking its cold titty
take a trip down
to trapezoid city

Da Martial Law Blues


If I should hang myself today
what kind of statement would that be?
"Oh, that kid was struggling with

depression", in the end
is how I'd be remembered, but at least
if I do it right, I'd feel far less

than if they catch me scrambling for my keys
a minute after curfew, take me in
and don't inform even their lieutenants,

then strap me down, hook me up
to a car battery, cover my face
with a damp towel, pull out my nails,

scourge me with barbed wire---
Martyr or suicide, either way
I'll be broken, I'll be mad,
like my glorious nation.

When life gets hard
sucking its cold titty
take a trip down
to trapezoid city

Clever!  But more of an irregular convex hexagon, innit?

Depends on which city you're going to.

First Person Shooter


They say
(they used to say)
a bayonet is
a weapon with a worker
on both ends.

But a pistol with
the same person
on both ends–
that would be you
the suicide.

(Or, of course,
just careless
but it amounts
to the same thing.)

Hello,
I’d like to tell you not do do what I did, but I find it funny that people who commit suicide tell the reader of their note, not to kill themselves, despite having blatantly done so. It wouldn't stop anyone in the same position from killing themselves, it's more likely to have them consider it knowing that the person who wrote this note didn’t think killing themself was a good idea – but their only option. What conclusion does that leave the reader with? Nevermind being in the same position as whoever killed themselves, if the reader ever does find themselves in the same position later on, they’ll think back to the time when the writer of a suicide note admitted there was no point in anything and he died just because.


You can’t really blame the person who wrote the note though, their message was probably an act of desperation to make good of a hopeless situation, maybe they are simply uncreative. “Don’t kill yourself, you have a long life ahead of you” is a tiresome cliche that indents almost every schmucks suicide note which is a bit ironic because the person who wrote it couldn’t even accomplish that, it’s a mere suggestion.


So, by all means kill yourself! If you don’t find my argument compelling, take it as a reason to live. I sure didn’t.


Let’s be real for a moment here, I don’t want to scar you with the haunting existentialism of our existence, as I am sure you are aware of, what with me lying all dead and such. Hopefully I left a mess– extra points  if someone puked upon finding my leavings, if not onto them, which would also be cool.


No, I want you to acknowledge the absurd situation you’re in, reading this note over my dead corpse. Ignore the viscera and the initial fear. Recognize me for the person I was and the life I lived. Any sob story fits what could’ve happened to me, that of course meaning there was a worthwhile backstory to tell, some people just decide to not live. Kind of hard to sympathize with that huh? So willful and stubborn, like a toddler crossing his arms to a plate of broccoli. I guess since I am tugging at your heartstrings or simply piquing your curiosity I made this unique and interesting enough for you – apparently this dictates my meaning in death – so you could relate to me. Who wants to read a boring suicide note? Life only happens once right? If you fuck that up look forward to your suicide, the same concept applies. Do something creative!


I digress. With all the given possibilities to my demise, my life could’ve been identical to yours, yet, you are still alive; the most lucky unlucky bastard to live! At least you’re not splattered on the ground, covered in possible vomit. Again, I don’t know your life, I can only guess from this note, who you are, just as you can only guess who I am. The universe’s intentions aren’t as random as it makes us out to be.


But, take this with a grain of salt, I just like to ramble without a point. Everything said is conjecture drifting in a vacuum, accomplishing nothing. Really, what can a person do but project their own ideas onto others and tell them what they find in themselves to be ideal?


Where I am going, this won’t matter, because I will no longer have a body to inhabit. Perhaps it never mattered to begin with. Ultimately, there is only one way to find out!


Goodbye
