Go ahead and do it
You know how
You’ve planned it all before
Your father’s pills
Your mother’s gin
My sympathy.
Go ahead and do it
If you want
If you’re serious about it
The filled bath
The shining razor
My panic.
Go ahead and do it
Since you claim
Your life is ‘so over’, right?
Your lasting anger
A plastic bag
My despondency
You are transparent
What you want
To make everyone feel guilty
To be found
To cause shock
To gain attention
Don’t bother harming
The only cutting you should do
Is yourself, out of my life
Go ahead and do it.
Author notes
For contest.
I don't want to seem as though I hate all people who attempt or commit suicide. I just dislike the ones that try/fake it just to get attention and be 'different'. I have known people like this and they don't have a clue what 'a hard life' is--their idea of it is their parents won't buy them x and they had an argument with someone...
I could probably turn this note into a long rant but I won't.

If that's what they really want, there's really no stopping them. But some of them want attention, you are right about that.
Just don't use that plastic bag. It's disgusting!

Thanks
I suppose when it comes to 'taboo' subjects like suicide, self-harm, bisexuality, mental issues - all the things that end up en vogue among certain internet crowds- it can be difficult to speak out against those things. When you do, you're instantly labelled a bad guy!
I think everyone has a whiney emo stage!
Thanks for commenting.

"The only cutting you should do

Those lines are FABULOUS.
I enjoyed reading this, it made me so ha-ha-ha feeling.
Good luck in the contest! -
So true life
I once had a girlfriend who manipulated me with fake suicide attempts until she messed up and ended up committed involuntarily to the local "Puzzle Factory" I really like the short chppy sentences and the way they fit together. The first three stanzas-almost a refrain at the end-the sense of angry resignation is very familiar to me. Good luck to you as well.
