Emptiness

Member since 2002 · Posted 13 Sep 2002 · 10 comments

The emptiness inside me, grows more and more each day. This loneliness I feel, will never go away. The pain in my heart, is begging for release. One slash with a knife, and all my pain could cease. Should that be the way to go, a knife blade through my vein? Or should I try to find a gun, and put a bullet in my brain? It doesn't really matter, nothing ever does. No one will even remember, the person that I was. I lift my arm, and make a fist. I draw the knife, and slash my wrist.

Well that poem was kinda different! But hopefully that poem was not about you! Life is too precious to be slitting your wrists! Nothing could ever be that important to want to hurt yourself! Please think about what I have said!

If you slash your wrist, you generally die, unless you are treated. You are alive. Ergo, you did not slash your wrist. Or if you did, you didn't really mean it. Ergo, you are a whiny bastard.

Slitting your wrists is for self-pitying wussies. Play in a minefield. Dump gasoline on yourself and light a match. Passionately embrace a chainsaw. Poem sucks ass as well.

If nothing matters, then it doesn't matter that nothing matters, so why worry about it? I think the REAL question you should be asking yourself is "Does a stone wall stop a blind woman as surely as one who sees?"

Also, a) it's not a slash, it's a more of a gouge, and b) almost nobody has the willpower to gouge their arm deeply enough to cause enough bleeding. So stop writing fucking shit suicide poetry until you actually know how to do it.
