Swallow

Carefully consider consequences...

Sit on the edge of your bed and think.
Really think.  Don't just say you're thinking.
Is this a good idea?
Who knows what's good and what's not.
Swallow.

Sit on the edge of your mind and think.
It gets harder to think every moment.
Is this a good life?
The only question unanswered is 'Why?'
Swallow.

Sit on the edge of your life and think.
Thank God it's all blurry now.
Is this...?
Fade out and forget 'Why?'
Swallow.

Sit on the edge of your death and think.
This warmth is so much better than reality.
Why?
Don't ask that, you might get an answer.
Just swallow.
