"experienced"



Are you sure? Why have you been?
Have you fallen, mellow like led,
off outer space, out of your head,
taken all, all out of breath?

All to take, your soul for free,
flirted with death, experienced,
more to relate, high as to see,
too seek, seven ways to end.

Is all I, should have to die,
could fit into, overdosed,
a cocktail of, pleasure in my,
apparent suicide toast.

On last night, I dove to die,
it wouldn't stop, endless oceans,
experienced, to my center,
from my sight, my thoughts that sigh?

Why could I? Breathe in here why?
How could I live? I should have died?
After all I, after my fall,
should have died, so many times?

Ending in, my secluded,
spiral of rage, on an island,
insanity, off in opiates,
torn page of narcotic hands.
