REVISED FIRST SONNETT

Back ache, neck stiff! OSTEOPEROSIS!
CHRONIC LOWER RESPIRATORY DISEASE!
Cells multiply! with cancerous MITOSIS!
What should be learned along with A, B, C’s?
With every fleeting moment someone dies,
Leaving the mourning friend and happy foe.
But my sweet children you should dry your eyes.
‘Cause without death we can’t learn, love and grow.
If man could live forever, I am sure
He’d be evil, or sad, or he’d be lost.
For immortality there is no cure.
For some reason there is this strangling cost.
Oh, please be glad that you’re so very sick,
But if you still feel sad, I’ll suck your dick.

ANOTHER SONNETT

The voices that I hear at night I fear
Come from strangers who I know not. Why they,
Speak to me? Well, the answer is not clear.
The words are quite evil with what they say.

Speaking of strangling myself with the toys,
Speaking of whipping my back with these jewels,
Saying my life is empty of all joys.
Saying I cannot breathe with this world’s rules.

Because of them I cry myself to sleep,
Praying I will awake alive and well.
Determined to send me into the deep
Darkest rungs of my own created hell,

These voices are more cunning than myself.
Whisper, shhh, what it means to kill oneself.
