Cobain (JCH -- 4/8/94)
death of the rock’n’roll star
questions why
maybe Cobain had the right idea
it takes courage to say “I quit.”
though not as much as living through this
the sweetest revenge
but how long should I pretend?
no one knows me
the rich interior that defines
who I really am
and why I do the things I do
I hate myself and want to die
but I don’t want it to end like this
with no one left to love me...
or miss me
