This story-telling poem, my peeps, was inspired by a song. The song, which was the theme song to MASH, is called Suicide is Painless. Only this poem is about how suicide is more bad and such things.
Why do we write?
about death darkness and pride?
Why do you commit
your own suicide?
I don't think you understand,
you don't think about anything else.
Think about life,
you don't get what it's all
about.
Life is about loving,
and then losing it all,
Picking
yourself up after
each painful fall.
When you give up,
you
throw it all away,
why do you still write,
about what may be your last
day?
Tell me more.
You say life is a knife,
that you hide
away.
You yell that suicide is the only way.
You cry as you swallow the
pills you stole.
These same excuses are sort of getting old.
You
write about death, dying, depression.
You just don't realize that you're
forcing your opression.
You write that you must die,
that we all
must die.
You tell about the
tell-tale scars on your wrists.
Razors,
guns, knives, and pills.
Still, no one seems to be able,
to tell the
reason why.
You're depressed.
You lock yourself away,
you hate
the ones who try to save the day.
Life is more than the knife at
your side,
there's more than giving up,
commiting suicide.
Life is
about hurting, losing, lying, falling
Picking yourself up again, and learning
to love.
Why do you write?
about death, darkness, and
pride?
Why are you contemplating your own demise?
Suicide.
Why
can't anyone tell me why?
