Can You Hear Me Now?

Haha, look at this noose

around my neck.

A little bit pathetic

to anyone who’d check.

Isn’t it funny

how life can be so abusive,

how the fucking demons

stay so damn intrusive—

confusing your thoughts,

distorting your sight,

corrupting the mind

until only this feels right.

I’ll show them now

how broken a person can get

when society’s only gift

is to dismiss and forget.

So this is the time

to take the final fall,

to quiet those demons

and silence them all.
