Poem: Kill Yourself

"It comes with strings attatched ya know,"
she advizes
not realizing
that everything does
"I know," I say
and begin to think
about the strings she holds
or tries to hold
over me
knowledge through suffering
it's one way to go
and apparently
my way
The pain is harsh
but usually short and the wisdom gained
is usually permenant
sometimes the fastest way
to the top
is to kill yourself.
