I thought..

Ryan m. Linn 1993 (West Virginia)

The other day as I laid in bed I saw,
A dot pass the sun as I thought,
Today's the day I got..
I got my nine millimeter.

No more crying I thought as I caught the fresh odor of pinesol
I was reminded My flesh will rot.
Today's the day I thought..
I got my nine millimeter..

Now I got not one more thought.
Not one tear to shed. Not one more drop.
I thought you'd be mine forever but I thought wrong. You'll be fine cause I got..
I got my nine millimeter..

Bury me in black.

About this poem

I dunno how to be myself. I was so defined by the relationship I was in for 13 years I don't know how to go on. Yet, here I am.. going on. And on and on and on.. I hate myself.
