Sometimes I want
To kill myself.
Other times I just
Want to eat so
Much bacon that
I have to throw up.
Either way, I’m
Always afraid to
Actually do it.

It’s between the wanting to and doing that your strength rests. Sometimes more alert and helpful than other times. I love this piece.

Death is only the beginning. I don’t think we do ourselves any favors by killing ourselves. Just makes the afterlife that much worse. Trade in our human woes for super natural ones?..Ehhh…I’m in no rush. Haha.
