Strike the Gong!

Slamming and locking the door,
I begin by striking up the Triangle.
Simple, and yet ever so destructive.
As the entire bottle of oxycotton reaches my stomach.


I'm going to play my veins like a violin.
This is my symphony!
I'm the musician and yet the conductor all the same.
Playing my very own composition of delirium.

Crimson Staffs of Coagulated notes fill the theatre.
I collapse into the counter, glass shattering, My symbols.
Fists into the walls, My Percussion strikes hard.

Wearing me thin, i fade into the flutes harmony with the saxophones.
As i fall to the ruinous floor, with Dismay.
I begin Swimming in the debri of my psychotic symphony.

This is my final act.

    I'm sorry, but Suicide options one and two had to be removed from my contest. Please enter another, if you'd like, of a different option.

        No biggie, not your fault. I'm the one who didn't read the rules carefully enough to notice that I couldn't have that in my contest. I like your work, though; please, enter another in its place.

      ^.^

      I'm very glad you liked it sweetie. This was something different. It was inspired by something, instead of a feeling i had myself.
      Hehe.

    Kind of out of your regular style, but I love it. I find a strange attraction to it in all honesty. You've outdone yourself with this, thank you for sharing it hun.

      I Know

      I'm glad you liked it.
      I know it's strange and definitly not something i usually write. However i'm tired of my normal emotion on paper.
      This is even more emotional and yet metaphorical.
      Doing something you would do, Tying something you'd never think of together...
      Though you usually have like atleast 3 of those concepts in each piece. I'm starting with one. ^.^

      Thank you.

        Of course I fucking liked it, you wrote it nobhead lol. I really liked the similes in this, they're very striking. You surpassed my skill along time ago, you just never realized it.
