This medication may have severe side effects,
if you feel suicidal please call the local emergency services.


Yes, I want to die, I've wanted to die since I tried to suffocate myself with a pillow
at the age of nine, at twelve I drank nail polish remover and spent the afternoon
vomiting lemon-burning up my throat.

This medication tells me, Die now, it's time, but
it also says, You need to take the garbage out and
how long has the baby been napping

and did you want to write a poem about it,
a hundred
poems about the fact that you want to die and cannot

hold the weight of the gun.
Well, there is trouble in my mind
There is dark
There’s dark, and there is light.
I lay our hands over my eyes
As I look deep
Through valleys deep and wide
Across the border line
For the Empire in My Mind


Jakob Dylan
