If I could
drown myself in alcohol,
could that wash away
the heartbreak?
If I could
fag my heart out,
would the hurt
go with my heart?
If I could
die and be born again,
would that erase
all my sins?
If I could
pull the air out
from my lungs,
would your words
be gone for me
in hell?
If I could
stop breathing right now,
tell me,
tell me,
would you even feel sad? |
Ouch!

Anger, angst, heartbreak! Leaping out of the page! As raw and smelly as last weeks sushi!
I feel sad reading this - perhaps written when a wound was too fresh? I used to think these thought when I was a kid and very sad "would they miss me if I died - I think he purpose was to make myself cry, and get the bad chemicals out.
Powerful, personal. Not too beautiful though!
Cheer up rilLie!!!

Written by Witzl (1585 comments posted) 21st November 2006 | My eldest would be able to commiserate with you, rilLie. She is in the dog-house for failing to come downstairs until the very last minute this morning, leaving all her chores for others to do. 'But I have too much to do!' is a complaint I hear from her all the time, but then it is one that she hears from me a lot, too.
Take it from me: if you stopped breathing, your parents would be heartbroken. But if they stopped breathing -- and they are that much older than you, so theoretically that much closer to their own deaths -- surely you would mourn them? It is a two-way street!
If I could do anything over again in my life, I would be kinder to my mother. She died all too soon, decades ago.
I don't expect you to listen to me -- why should you, when my own daughters don't? -- but do try and put yourself in your parents' place, from time to time. They may seem old and tiresome and repetitive to you, as I do to my kids. But you won't have them around forever.

As with Oli, I remember the dark moods of my youth. God, I sometimes wish I could have them back! All things in perspective in the end. Enjoy your youth, life's for living, not moping.
Enjoyed the poem.
Was it Witzl who commented on the amazingness of the www. Here I am, ten to seven on a Tuesday evening talking to a girl who's thousands of miles away about teenage stuff.
All the best,
Phil. |
