Don’t Read This !

By Loserland

Don’t read this now
Why look at these words of mine
After I have become deceased
You didn’t bother to read them
While I had the option
Of receiving gratitudes of praise
Or sharp criticism
Now that I’m rotting away
What reason do I need
Of your eyes on the lines
No need to identify anymore
No need to connect anymore
No need of recognition anymore
While I was present in the tense
You couldn’t careless of this paper
Why is there meaning for it now
So close this book
And remember the irrelevance of my words
To you and your kind
Too self-obsessed to bother
So don’t bother now

    Why? Everything deserving can be brought back and I do not believe that anything or anyone will forever stay dead. Plus I am very stubborn. Poem leaks with self pity, amusing to an extent. Could be great if the right audience read it.

    Very good point so many seem concerned when somebody dies but never cared while the person was a live. Great commentary on a societal flaw. -Elizabeth

    have to admit... this is the work of a martyr... and who's fault is it really if you're putting the nails into your own hands, on the cross you made yourself?... don't prove people they're RIGHT about you... do amazingly well, and shove it in their face.
