Suffer No More

by Broken   Oct 29, 2004


Down another pill, take another hit
Chug the bottle, just once more
Just drink up, put the bottle to your lips
There's happiness at the bottom
Drown your misery with another sip

The world gave it's cold shoulder
Smacked you in the face with reality
Dug a hole for you to live
And left you to an eerie fatality
So thats why I'm here

Do not be afraid
Behind this hooded face
There is some good
Although I might be death
I don't act like I should
I'll do things for you
That no one else could

I'll lead you from these bitter people
Place you in another world
Full of many other sinners
And the comfort of an orange warmth
But you're only a beginner....

So just take my hand
Follow closely behind me
If you don't trust me with your life
I give to you this gift
It will put an end to all your strife
With just one easy slice
So here, take my knife

Just slide that shiny blade
Across your virgin wrists
Absorb the pain it brings
Feel the ecstasy, feel the bliss
Let the cold blood drip
Down from those appealing slits

--------------------------------
The speaker is supposed to be death. He is trying to get a person in misery to take away their life, so he can lead them to hell. I have revised it so it kind of rhymes now. I would very much appreciate it if you commented.

    This is such a clever poem. I really like the idea that death is the speaker. You would never think it to be a person ... Excellent poem. Definate 5.

    You paint Death as wonderfully seductive... the way release should be to someone in emotional agony. You write with an informed understanding of it (unfortunately?). A few punctuative differences might help the flow of the poem, but regardless it's another wonderful poem.
