screaming beneath the waves

by Artur Desruisseaux

I started thinking

and well it got too much

and I wanted to end it all

and I thought how

all the ways to do yourself in didn't seem too good

so I put on this song

again

and it made me think of happier times

and when the song ended

I was back to thinking too much

so put the song back on

and after awhile I got sick of the song

so I was back thinking too much

and I went outside, maybe to kill myself

but I couldn't find anything to kill myself with

just an old rake

so I picked up the rake and started to smash it

but I stopped at the last second

and set it down real nice

I mean real real nice,

back inside I played that song again

and poured myself a scotch whiskey

it burned my stomach,

The weather is changing

its much darker than before,

I want to get out of here.
