Suicide of the Ego (Free verse) by Drifting Shadow

Every day of the life you have walked, Has lead you to this step of steps, To step into the abyss, The abyss of nothing. It looks dark in there, It looks light out here, but it is as it is, and it is the same. For the years of fear and pain, Hanging on by your fingernails, Thinking, wanting, trying… To die. When all along you knew you couldn’t. Who would of thought? That now you have seen your worth, Now you have seen your potential, And you have decided to live, That the only way to do that is death, Not for your body, Kill your ego, See nothing, But truly see it. Be nobody, And grow again what did not wither. You fear what you will see, When you step into the abyss. You fear what you will see, When you step out of the abyss. But that fear has been outgrown, By the fear of the world you created.

You are roughly the fifth person on this site to claim to have me "running in circles," "up against a wall," "bent over with my pants down," or some other such groundless boast. The first four are currently wailing and gnashing their teeth in my own specially-constructed "outer darkness," by which I mean poetry dot com. So, sure I'd like to play, but you have to first learn the rules.

RULE #1: Always format your comments in numbered lists. Otherwise we won't know who's winning.

RULE #2: If, say, I make a point, your comment should answer that point in the precisest possible terms. None of this galloping off wildly with your breeches half-breeched. For both our conveniences' sake, the points shall take the form of numbered lists.

COROLLARY #1 TO RULE #2: This means when I suggest you take a look at the poems and other whatnot posted by the people you're making flolloping assumptions about, you might seriously consider doing so. Failure to respond to existing points or to introduce new points in a reasonable manner will result in the addition of one GAY POINT to your GAYNESS QUOTIENT for each infraction.

RULE #3: You're a cod. That is all.
