You know your life sucks when not even your friends believe or listen to what you have to say. When you tell them a secret about your messed-up existence and the first sound out of their mouth is a laugh, followed closely by an only slightly more serious "You're joking, right?" as you stare them down for their initial reaction. And then comes the ever-popular "I'm sorry," as if they can apologize for life hating you so absolutely… Oh, and then there are those people who try to tell you the moral of your own life's story––something YOU did wrong that made you deserve the crap you got. News for you, the moral is: Life SUCKS.
Have you ever said something you shouldn't have? And I don't mean something nasty and snide––just foolish. Probably you have. Well, every time you do, there's ALWAYS some stupid, ignorant bitch there who only catches those very words and then proceeds to misinterpret them. Shortly after, she takes those words and tries her hardest to shove them back up your ass by telling everyone what you said. Happen to you? Well, it's even worse when you spread your arms out as you say it, taunting everyone around you, like I did once upon a time. 'Cause then it's a hundred times worse.
But neither of those compares to the groups––the LEGIONS––of people who will call you self-serving or self-centered, or even selfish, when you explain to them that you derive NO pleasure from the mundane world, and would much rather be either dead, or better yet, deceased. Me? I don't do that. When someone tells me they want to die, I do everything in my power to comfort them, and then when they decide they want to go, I'm still there to help. But, oh, how many times people have called me a liar, or have run though hallways screaming that I'm an "emo" or that I'm suicidal, or insulting every aspect of my being. And what for? Because they still think I'm a liar, or because they want attention. Hell, maybe even to make sure the way they view the world remains entirely pristine.
After that, I think you're ready for a little secret about me: I wear all black on most days. Why? No, it's not because I'm a "goth" or an "emo"–-neither of which should you call someone, by the way. No, it's not because I'm mourning––actually, the color white is typically used for said purpose. And NO, it's NOT because I want attention––that's the biggest one. I wear black because I want people to know the truth. I don't like manipulative lies or people who cover themselves with facades. And I wear black because I have a deep psychological problem whereby I actually believe that I might be doing someone a favor by saying, quite bluntly, "there's more to life than you think, you stupid fuck" to all those who still live on the lighter side.
And the reason why I wrote this piece of crap little blurb about how much life sucks? Because I can't think but to imagine cutting myself, slashing my wrists open with the razor that sits next to me, or performing various gruesome suicides, the most messy of which involves a shotgun, antihistamine tablets, sleeping pills, rope, a balcony, and razors, even though I still have 7 hours of homework to do tonight and it's 11:07 PM.
I know life seems bad now, but if you hold out and get the fuck out of the negative situations it'll all work out.
ReplyDeleteWhen a friend first showed me this I assumed it was a joke. I thought it was a mediocre parody of all the extremely cliched, I Purposely Live Up To Stereotypes and Then Angrily Deny The Stereotype, writing often found on blogs. But I've scanned through the rest of your stuff and I'm not so sure anymore. I would like to point out that in the comments of 3A you said you mentioned that you called the poem emoetry 3A but apparently it's horrible to call someone emo. (That was a polite way of saying your full of shit). If this was serious you are easily the most hypocritical person I've ever met on the internet (not an easy thing to do given the state of the web). If this is a spoof you should tone it down some. (Also I'm curious about how you intended to kill yourself with all those tools since it seems fairly impossible.)

Dear Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteThe "Emoetry-3A" idea was a simple jest. Why? Because people do call poetry with depressing themes "emoetry." It was also to a friend who realized it was only a jest at the fact that her original ideas were dreadful. Notice, "Emoetry" was discarded. I stand by my declaration that calling someone "emo" is not something one should do. As for why you shouldn't call someone that––I honestly don't mind being called it, but I know many people who do. *shrugs*
As for the killing myself with all of those tools... It's quite a beautiful approach. Not one of my own making, though. I suggest reading "The Gargoyle," by Andrew Davidson. It's a wonderful novel. But don't get me wrong, I wouldn't suggest going that way––it'd be messy.
Hoping You Understood a Word of That,
Aiden
