Poem Artwork

They hated me, they wanted me dead,
They tried to remove my head,
I took away their sword and used it on them,
I sliced and jabbed, cut and thrust,
The worst of them were the upper crust,
They thought if funny that I lose everything and all,
I fought with the tenacity of a cornered lion,
Yes, this was a nightmare and I ain’t lyin’…

Into my waking life it followed,
Too write it I had to as you see do,
I left very few to live, to of my story tell,
I did jump from a very high rooftop,
I remember not if I did splatter on the concrete,
But from a hundred or more floors like a stone I did drop…

Why you might ask,
I got my courage from a liquor filled flask,
Wearing no clothes, only a death mask,
I did plunge to my death, so happy I was it finally arrived,
For that death I have always strived,
God takes those of bright spirits & light,
But I so far, since I awoke, have lived,
I have many times tried, but as per God,
I was all the time & every time, deprived…

I really hate that uppercrust when it cuts into the roof of my mouth…

And another thing… This crazy poem is as crazy as that dream about doing away with oneself. What a crazy thing to do. Dream like that, I mean.

Ed, heaven doesn't want you and hell's afraid you'll take over! Seriously, I do understand what you're write is all about. When I was 15 this one guy and I broke up. I went home and took 13 aspirins. I threw up. I'd miss your wit if you did yourself in, hon!

Love ya!

Jane
