The thistles of comfort.

Contributed by deathdrop on Wednesday, 14th July 2004 @ 12:20:38 PM in AEST
Topic: Suicide



Sitting at some window,
Looking down at the ground.
Knowing if I jumped Id be smashed to pieces,
Long before Id be found.
Knowing I could die, from smashing open my head.
Or just a loss of blood from coughing up some red.

I could die from over does. I could fall from the sky.
I could jump off a bridge, and that way die.
I could do my wrists in, or hang my-self with a rope.
I could take an overdose, off a simple thing like dope

Those hazy thoughts have just become clear.
I dont like this! So why am I still here?
It would be enough, for me to run away,
Only thing is, Ill be brought back again.
And I cant hack, facing that pain.
When Im dumped back at home, pushed into my stain.
And I cant see then point in strong effort.
When I only have the Thistles of Comfort.

Interesting metaphor of thistles - I see them as something protecting you against further pain (when, as you say, there's nothing in your head, the wanting to die/escape is a comfort) and yet in themselves they're not natural, and so represent the wrongness of your suicidal feelings. Hmm twisted explanation. But however you meant the image to be interpreted, it's still pretty interesting.
