Attempt
 
  I killed myself once
but it didn’t take.
Seems there’s an art to
this dying,
slash up down sideways
How many pills to ingest.
The combination required.
Elapsed time needed before
your body could be found,
so that EMS can’t revive you.

I killed myself once,
but it didn’t take.
Woke up to flashing lights
tubes in mouth
stomach being pumped.
EMS moving around that gurney
telling me how lucky I was
to still be alive.

I killed myself,
but it didn’t take.
Clinically dead for six minutes.
Apparently is not
the running start needed
to stay dead forever.

suicide or even euthanasia.........is an act only.........for the LOSER!

Well there is little pain involved with a gun shot to the head as long as you don't miss. I prefer to think that all healthy people consider suicide.....when they aren't so healthy.
