"One day at a time."
That's what they keep telling me.
I wonder if that's what they'd say,
if it they were me and I were them.
I wonder if they could remember,
that "tomorrow will be better."
or that "time heals all wounds."
I wonder if it would matter to them
that "it was just her time."
I wonder if they would be happy
that "God never closes a door,
without opening a window."
I wonder if that window
would just make ending it all
all the more tempting.
I wonder if they would feel the hatred,
the blind rage at their own words.
I wonder if they would understand,
why I don't "just move on."
I wonder who they really want
to console with those empty words.
Is it me?
Or is it themselves?
I wonder...

Ahh...finally someone had the confidence to do a poem of cliche mockery =] Very good job. I'm impressed, though I do need to know what song this was inspired by.
Thank you for this entry. -

I figured out what I did wrong and both of my poems are fixed. Sorry

Thanx
I'm glad you liked it! This is inspired by Beauty from Pain by Superchick and I swear it's written in the author's notes! As is my name with spaces... For some reason it's not showing up!! I'm really sorry but I don't know how to fix it.
The song kept reminding me of how I felt when my aunt and uncle died two years ago. All those condescending things that people tell you are so goddamned annoying! I would rather they said nothing at all and just left me the hell alone than tried to "relate" ya know? Anyway thank you for the inspiration and even if I don't win a damn thing, thank you for the opportunity to try. Happy writing!
