through the looking glass

by tattooedbeatmessiah - Libra

i'm dying,
yes,
i know that


i accept it


i've lived a hard life and now
die a hard death,

congestive heart failure
at 39 years old...
 at one time i smoked 4 packs a day,
now i watch others as they kill themselves
huffing and puffing 
breathing in the cancer sticks...
i ate what i wanted and never read the labels
1200 mg of sodium in a sausage mcmuffin,
line them up,
lets see how much we can eat,
1200 mg,
2400 mg,
3600 mg,
who needs medication,
my blood pressures under control,
i'll sleep when i die, just pour me another
cup of coffee or beer or whiskey..
chop a line on a mirror and i'd snort it
first,
cocaine,
methamphetamine,
heroin or ketamine....
i was a pig but i thought i'd
live forever......

i'm dying,
yes,
i know that




and i accept it....
