I’m so sick of suicide
It’s everywhere I look
Pictures, and in movies
In poetry and books

I’m so sick of suicide
It’s pathetic and it’s weak
Blah blah blah so awful
Outlook always bleak

This life’s just not worth living
Could they be any more cliché’?
I know that I just can’t go on
Isn’t that what they say?

Do you live in China
Without freedom’s basic choice?
Are you a woman in Afghanistan?
Forbidden to have a voice.

Are you starving now in Africa?
Surrounded by disease
Or under corrupt dictatorship
Forced upon your knees

These people rise to challenges
We cannot comprehend
They live their lives from day to day
And triumph in the end

But daddy won’t buy me the car
He promised me last fall
Oh what now am I to do?
I’ll have to end it all.

My girlfriend found another
She loves him more than me
I’ll bleed until I’m empty
Then she’ll finally see.

I’m so sick of suicide.
I have extensive personal contact with suicide, and dealing with suicidal individuals. I'm not generally this cold on the subject, but I needed the cathartic release this piece provided me.

Your words cut like a knife. Do you not see how hurtful you're being?

Yes, I'm aware that my problems are not as bad as those in different countries with no rights or food, but hey guess what? People in those countries also end their own lives. So do they ge the right to where as I don't? What's teh difference? We are all human and we all have emotions, and sometimes they become too much, and having dickfaces like you invalid our own struggles (Like my struggles with PTSD after being abused as a small child and having my sister end her life 4 years ago.)

There's a lot more that goes into someone wanting to die than just "Oh my daddy didn't buy me the car I wanted." It's a inaccuarate portayal of suicide.

It builds up after time, not normally just this one event. The only case where that is true is if it's a tradegy, like my sister's suicide.


Do your research and maybe ask people who have actually wanted to die before speaking on their half you duckbrain.
