l know it's over-commaed, but it doesn't seem to work any other way.. lol
heck, commaed to death...!

Fighting death's temptation,
refusing the lure of a razor,
knowing the freedom of my soul won't do any good,
l hang onto sanity by fingertips ragged,
hope l've already lost the battle,
cling to insanity with fingertips
no longer ragged ,
tap out frustration so quick,
knowing release comes only with death
but seeking life insane instead,
hoping words of pain and rage
will help those with no reason to go on,
perhaps tell them theres another
with feelings like theirs,
the same small fears and agonies,
small rages the world will never see,
for seeing is revealing,
pretending they're all right,
turning off the lights and crying late at night,
when no one but l can see;
l'll resist the lure of a razor,
till time meets it's end,
and help those without help to see,
those l was once so like,
until l found my strength.
Just know l'll always yearn
for freedom of my soul,
until love finds my heart,
and death has no temptation,
and life always draws me nearer.

until then, l'm gonna resist the idea of death,
though l'll always fantasize about it, and hope that someone doesn't feel alone quite so badly,
alright?
laurie... btw, l'm not depressed.
