Dice Man

Love thyself;
Such a small sentence
Yet it is often hard to do

Dicing with death
I fling myself into
The raging path of chance

I longingly hope for an end to the
Gnawing misery that is life
I want to feel free of all constraints
That hold my sanity

How eagerly I plot my downfall
I impatiently dream of 
The happy cold embrace of stillness
I need to stop but
The world just rushes by
I feel always lost

I let fate decide how my day will end
I suffer from despair
As I can see no termination
Of this unending misery

I brood
And feel overwhelmed 
With discontent
All I wish for is 
An unhappy end
