An Experiment

Depression leads to crazy thoughts, ideas, and experiments. This is my first suicide attempt which happened at college.
I read on the Internet
That it takes
Four ounces
Of nail polish remover
To kill a 180 pound man

The only kind I had
Had gelatin in it
Which is not vegetarian
For some reason that mattered

I tried it anyway

Two ounces
Made me dizzy
My heart hurt

I cried nail polish remover for days
Tears of failure
