I declare

Some sort of declaration


Fully aware of my identity, responsibility, I declare that the patience
With which
I accepted that life is not amusing at all, so insipid,
Decreases
Inch by inch.

It’s time to clean this gun in my hand, point it to my belly,
Put on Nirvana,
Have a Smirnoff,
Correct the mistakes in my farewell letter to the foundation
I endowed,
And shoot off.

Nothing can change this, my life’s a defeat, a caustic failure,
a failure is
every day.
This rhyme’s wonderful.
God, I love you.
Please, ask me to stay.

    Well, here I was thinking the last one was good...

    I loved the modified ending, and I actually agree with the others, this one benefits from the removal of the coarse language that you had in its predecessor.

    That last line is so desperate. I love it. Wonderfully done!

    We all regret the mistakes we make~
    The failures we've had~
    and some times we lose our inspiration~
    But if we search within
    We shall find our reasons why ~
    and with understanding~
    We begain to grow within~
    I really liked the end of this~
    It gave a reason why to stay~
    Well written~

    I love the ending, especially. Gives a solution that the criteria asks for.
