Cursed And Crossed

-Cursed And Crossed-

Cursed
And crossed
Broken a lot
Below me
Just down there
A parking lot
Concrete reality
Certain lethality
Flat and smooth
Brutal efficiency
To be abused
From this height
What a rush
Finite will be the feeling
Only paled in comparison
By the impact
Crashing
Instant stoppage
Lights on
Then light off
As simple as that
No need to over analyze
No need to complicate things
Death via
My own decision
Fate
Side stepped
Or should it be leapt
Quick
Three hundred feet
Per each second
One step closer
Towards the last
Four seconds more
Of this hellish
Overburdened existence
Fate won’t win
At least not with me
Savagery avoided
Tragedy averted
My copulating friends
Of course
There will be a stain
Oh what a shame
Fear nothing of the mess
No one will know
No one will see
A tidal wave
Is coming this way
To wash away
What will remain
Leaving no trace
My body will be found
In some other place
Time and death
Speculation at best
I’ll be buried
Face down
Next to my mother
Besides my father
A few feet deeper
Cursed
And crossed
Living like I want
Not as I should
Now I’m here
Upon this precipice
Down there is doom
Up here is more
I must go
Right off the edge
Tumbling downward
Face first my friends
Into the concrete
Simultaneously kissing
And being crush to death
Melodramatic
Is the fool
Who stands here
Relaying the facts
With regard to
All that he has done
Three
Two
One
Cursed
And crossed
Life brought me here
I will let myself down…
