Thee Grim Reaper As Pedagogical Savior

today, i wanna die and bid god riddance grandly 
   going gamesomely gra grave,  de deum, and cymbal crash
to bing mulct emotionally, physically and spiritually - 
   all the grinding hardships would be gone in aa flash
how tempting to seek ot a solution sans hemlock 
   or other deadly potion, 
   whereby toothless mouth need not gnash
boot simply swallow and drink from the goblet of 
   mortal freedoms renting psych ass under 
   with purposelessness mine hash
tag, which bout with suicide while n the edge of thirteen - 
   anorexia nervosa defeated - 
   then as now experience whip lash
lacerating, flagellating, and repeatedly rousing thoughts 
   to circle back to why death be not proud when life on par with a mash
up of ennui, futile gobbledygook housing incubus 
   analogous luft waffe bombardiers quash
the joie de vivre per je ne sais quois spritely spring 
   in step happy jollity, and levity attempt to make light 
   of psychological me's mental illness rash
whence thru the lvii roam min years as chief garbage taster of trash
hurled my way gnome matter the gremlins dwelt within the Wabash 
distance to inflict din er of dissonance targeted this mortal for'er abash
as soon as he got expelled from the womb, his reddened ears did bash
from sonic screaming boom causing astir the nurses 
   into the maternity ward of me late mum sped like dash
her, and fast as a comet prancer doth emulate 
   a con vixen dancer, cuz ova this rude half 
   re:that came a boot from genetic chromosomal dna wash.
