Eating Bullets
A curious thing,
the harsh reality
of taking one's life
Your tattered existence
is something
to laugh upon
This shattered life
is something
for which you cry
The harsh reality
of grinding metal
Friction igniting
a powerful blow
An explosion
of human creation
To take away
a human being
The harsh reality
of blood red stains
The haunted souls
of passerbys
A booming fall
to break the silence,
Then let it settle
forever more
Your tattered smile
is something
to remember
Your shattered skull
is something
to forget
the harsh reality
of taking one's life
Your tattered existence
is something
to laugh upon
This shattered life
is something
for which you cry
The harsh reality
of grinding metal
Friction igniting
a powerful blow
An explosion
of human creation
To take away
a human being
The harsh reality
of blood red stains
The haunted souls
of passerbys
A booming fall
to break the silence,
Then let it settle
forever more
Your tattered smile
is something
to remember
Your shattered skull
is something
to forget
