Incredible Cliche

By Im_going_to_cry_now

I wish I could start this story off with a bang, some glimpse of a bleak future that I could flashback from, or this profound foreshadowy thing, a sort of best of times/ worst of times thing. but I can't, and even if I could it wouldn't be right. The truth is it just started with a sad lonely girl crying in her room.
and I can't say why she cried, she had never told us. But I knew on some subconscious level that some heartless person had been too careless with words and had produced the salty water that ran now down her cheek.
and I can't say how many times it happened before.It was a number that God himself would have to count on his fingers. Someone would say the wrong thing and her happiness would shatter like a bowl dropped from the side of the Grand Canyon.
There isn't much I can say at all, but I can say that it was the last time. Because she took her razor and dragged it across her wrists. And her tears became tiny drops in a sea of blood.
I wisjh I could end this with a bang, some triumph over evil or a happily ever after.More than anything I wish I could use one of those endings where everything just keeps going, same as it was before, but I can't, it just ended with a sad lonely girl crying in her room, who decided she hated her life.

    I've been there, so I'll say it. Suicide is the pussy's way out.

    I think you're wrong. I also think that it's incredibly selfish to try to keep someone on this world if they don't want to be here. Suicide isn't for pussies. If you see a cancer patient crying in her hospital room, do you tell her to suck it up? I'd hope not. It's the same thing here. Just a metaphorical cancer that some people are strong enough to find the chemo for.

    Ok now that I have said that, Great work, though suicide is never really a pleasant subject.

    would have to be to completely override your will to live? To drive you to the point that not only do you no linger have the will to live, but in fact have the will to die, to take your own life, something that our very nature screams against.

    Fuck cliche. You write about whatever you want to write about as long as it keeps you from doing whatever it is you say you want to do. Everyone feels this way, just let it out. As long as it's real thats all that matters.

  • A former member wrote: writting about suicide is so cliché that the poem has to be really good to be fully appreciated by artist or intellects. other than that you're writting style is pretty good.
