Wrap the flag around your wrist
Feel the metal on your leg
You know..
It's probably not too late to stop

Press the pedal
Hear it purr
Grip the metal
The weight much heavier then before

Squeeze tight and shield your eyes from the flashing light

You can't remember why you are there
Feel the burning while you fall
No one comes to your aid
No one claims that they saw

Just a mess to clean up is you
Existence is gone and nothing is you
Unheard forgotten and gone is you

Only one who cries at night
Carries your locket
Sees your face
When there is no light

"Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it."

"Hold faithfulness and sincerity as first principles."

-Confucius

It is sad and the writing is stark.  You just put it out there without a lot of words to wade through.
