Ajax (he/xe)

It all sounds so nice

It sometimes scares me

When I ask myself

“Do I tie the noose?”

“Or is it better to leave it loose?”

“Should I take my final breath?”

Too often, I think about death

When I’m on a rooftop,

“Will I fly if I drop?”

“Or will I crash into the ground?”

“With a sickening sort of crunchy sound.”

“If I slit my wrist,”

“Will the world fade out and turn to mist?”

“I could drown myself in a flash,”

“It’d be just like taking a bath.”

“I could… Take some pills and die alone!”

“In my room, in my home.”

It all sounds so nice to me,

Don’t you see?
