Down at suicide city, <br />Null of pride and past all pity. <br />Suicide city: <br />A stressed out Walter Mitty, <br />I'm at suicide city, <br />And I've maxed out my last chitty. <br />Suicide city, for my crime. <br /> <br />It's the dreaming and aphasic snow, <br />The white noise of this constant go. <br />And frozen in the cauldron's glow, <br />Of demons and my fears of woe; <br />The neediness of knee-jerk foe, <br />Who'd stand and fight them toe to toe, <br />Toe to toe, toe to toe... <br /> <br />Down at suicide city, <br />With nothing in the kitty. <br />Suicide city: <br />My life has got so shitty. <br />I'm at suicide city, <br />Waist deep in nitty-gritty. <br />Suicide city. In the slime. <br /> <br />It's the waking and the finding, <br />Of the ties, no longer binding, <br />In a white light: burning, blinding, <br />That no-one wants to know. <br />It's the grating and the grinding, <br />Of my teeth and nerves unwinding. <br />It's the brazen lies, reminding me <br />Of a dog and pony show! <br /> <br />Down at suicide city, <br />There ain't no joke so witty. <br />Suicide city: <br />The outcome won't be pretty. <br />I'm at suicide city, <br />Where I'll sing my final ditty. <br />Suicide city. Done my time. <br />I've done my time!<br /><br />David SmithWhite<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/song-suicide-city/
