a little bit closer

by antwan fields - Aries

i have moved closer to my goal and have achieved indifference
why? i don't know but
i can tell you like this
miles to go before i sleep 
intriged by whats out there
salinas lounge on washtenaw 
and spin on halsted and belmont
just a little closer to wanting death 
quick, or slow and painful
loser, is that what you say i am?
im not ready to admit what i am not
so you call me asshole
does it matter
i have acheived what i am looking for
but the cliff gets closer and i try to avoid it 
but i can't stop, and i get a little bit closer 
to going over the motherfucking edge
goodbye, all, i got too close 
and now i must fall
a little bit closer
and one thought hits me: 
i went over
im dead
