Everyone's a tragedy when they're dead


Even if they find not so many people


Flashing before their eyes

Even if they got so little love

Compared to what they gave

They could taste crocodile tears dripped upon their graves

"We once smoked a joint together he was my best friend. And friends with marajuana are friends even to an untimely end."

I could hear a negligent father's weeping. "Where did I go wrong?"


But when he had the chance he chose to not raise him at all

Mom, an alcoholic, drowns her 'sorrows' in liquor.

But when it comes down to the truth.

The death is just used so

She finally has an excuse to drink all her boos.


Was I really worth grieving in the first place.

Doesn't matter anymore I'm just glad I don't have to wake up.
I'll miss my brother.
Ill miss my sister


I'll miss the time I spend with my Dad
I'll miss all the illusions I'd drawn

To drown out all my empty thoughts

Maybe if fantasy can keep my mind at ease its as good a reason as any to keep going.

But everyone is a tragedy when they're dead.
