Third Eye Blind….
I have two eyes, that go very well with my emotional state…
Sadly, I have just given away my long guns and ammo for same.
I am in the right mood, presently, to just load and place the barrel
to my sternum, and applying just a bit of pressure
to the fucking trigger—.
Oh, can’t do that?
And why not?
Because life is precious and valuable?
Of course it is, to those who are living an enjoyable life.
If life is not enjoyable or good, or whatever the hell it is supposed to be,
then I would say that eternal rest would be oh, so very much better.
At least that way MAYBE I could stop being such a fucking burden
or pain in the fucking ass?
Maybe that way those that I “bother” would no longer feel that I am bothering them?
I think I would experience a great difference in my life, should I install a third eye
between and centered just above my other two.
It wouldn’t take much to do it – And believe me, I am very capable of doing that.
Because.
Because I am such a pain and bother and so very much in the way
and not able to do a damn thing for myself any more.
Only drawback I can see
is that I would not be able to watch from the sidelines,
and see what my act would result in.
I can visualize it presently, but I am wondering, just why, exactly,
I believe that I would not be able to even do that right?
Hell, if I did it, and it worked,
for me, at least, then would I not have,
finally, at last, done something right?
Well, in the words of that pain-in-the-ass, Hank,
“Fuckit – Don’t mean nothin’.”
