the poison coursing through my wounded veins the serpents tongue corrupting my brain into the lair i lose my mind the serpents voice creeping up my spine no life no death to purgatory you will descend whispers from behind breaking my mind a distant voice a hopeful sign a voice ascends from the depths whispers of ineffectual life whispers of ineffectual death within the mists a withered shell of a dying man exists his faded voice his last breathe of humanity calling my name revealing his identity hope speaks my fate tongues beyond misery condemned to rot the reject of humanity a slave to mortality we suffer alone on a desolate earth where the bodies burn the stench of this purge so the world will beg for my soul to be crucified depressed in this vivid life lusting over suicide the noose slithers around my neck the impending jump induces death neck hanging bones snapping still alive in this life worth taking one last try to remove my empathetic life slit my throat with the rusted blade of a butchers knife my wounds are healing at the instant of their opening hanging from a rope destined to choke rejected from dying i can feel death watching laughing at my frailty body soaked in blood this is the pain of my reality the world begs for my death suicidal thoughts crowd my head hanging from a rope crying as i choke blood fills my lungs with misery gasping for the air that i cannot breathe vomit the pain i won t be saved from the noose i hang praying to die can t breathe all i feel is numb solitude at the barrel of a gun nothing left to lose only death to choose cut the rope running further into the brave spewing blood spitting on my own fucking grave lucid mind do i dare enter this old cave help specify does this door enter a new life do i die or is false hope apart of my weakness persists to cull my breath to cloud my head the choice between the black abyss the mouth of death
