The Suicide Poem

One of these days, I'll learn how to write
But I'm doing the best I can
I'll probably never be Edgar Allan Poe
Or any kind of famous man

No one will ever know my name
Or even hear my rhymes
I've told myself it doesn't matter
At least a million times

For me this life is over
There's no where else to turn
The time has come for me to end it
I guess I'll never learn

Don't anyone try to stop me
For it will do no good
Things are just gonna happen
The way I knew they would

It's time for me to kill myself
Yes, It's time for the blood to flow
How long does it take to die from a paper cut?
Does anybody know?

Larry, Kim thinks you're serious about suicide. I think you're just being witty, especially after looking at the last two lines about bleeding to death from a paper cut. Please let us know you're okay! Love, Carolyn

Wait!!! Larry, You mustn't do it!!! Contrary to what you may believe, we do hear you; the crowd roars your name. If you insist, however, ...Nice knowin' ya, my friend.
