How To Become a Star

i want to become a star
a twinkling star in the night
full of beauty and light
but how will i become a star?
and fly up to mars?
there's a bridge on the highway
i could jump
and end my days
my neighbor owns a gun
i could steal it
and have a little fun
there's a bottle of pills on my kitchen counter
i'll make sure i'm not seen by my mother
we own a shiny sharp butcher knife
that'd be a cool way to end my life
there's some rope on my basement shelf
i'll smile while hanging myself
because all i want
is to be a star
away from this life
so very far
