You Ought To Try Living More by ~justsomelameguy:iconjustsomelameguy:





It\'s amazing to me
That there seems to be
All these people who live in despair.

They share their cries
About lost love, and lies
And speak of how life is unfair.

Why do they need
To make themselves bleed
With razors, with scissors, with knives?

All of it is rather trivial.
Pain is in ALL of our lives.

That goes to show, how far some will go
In order to find absolution
I know it sounds odd, but trust - I\'m no fraud -
Dying is not the solution.

Author's Comments

This one goes out to all of those DA users who feel the need to post up photos of their bleeding wounds - usually self-inflicted.

If you're one of those people, I seriously doubt this poem will change your mind - but I'm not here to change your mind. Just to make you think.

Enjoy.

I really like this. Frankly, I've been scared by those little thumbnails of bloody wrists. That's not why I come here.

But as for your poem, I think it's very well-written. Flows nicely. (Sorry. I'm not good at poetry analysis or anything... But I really like it. Nicely done.)
:iconmy2k:
This poem is one of the rare literary things posted on devART that I like. I cant really say much, because I've never acually been suicidal, but this gets a genuine message across: If you think death is the answer, your wrong.

+fav , because this poem works.

my aphorism: comments are like candies. It's nice to get one once in a while, when you're good. But asking for one not only makes you sound greedy but ruins the surprise when you DO get one. Comments are a privilege, not a requirement.
:iconsickbastard:
nice...suicide is the pussy way out anyway...

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. There is absolutely no reason for people to post their wounds. It's like, "hey look, I cut myself, see how fucked up I am? Pay attention to me. Love me. Tell me to stop." blah blah blah. Why would anyone want to kill themselves? I mean, I could understand if you had AIDS, or cancer, and woke up in horrible pain every day. BUt these people think that their lives are so horrible, and the worst part is, a lot of them truely believe no one loves them. That's really sad.

Some say it's holding on that makes you stronger; others say it's letting go.

Bored? Well then this [link] wont help you.

I need to repeat what I said before..

The picture of the blood is mine. I'm a recovering cutter. (7 weeks..yay!)

Don't be so ignorant as to flame his poem. Read it over a few times, if you're smart..it will make sense to you. Because all of it is true. If you want to say, "You don't know what it's like! Fuck you!" Well, I do. And I agree with him. So if you feel that way, shut the hell up.

I love this, Jordan. It's wonderful. +favlove

I've never been suicidal, but this poem is fantastic. i know a few friends of mine who are like that, though. I will definatly share this with them. A++++++++ all the way!

Shall I ever see that coast?
Kingdoms of Tirion and Alqualonde
Heart of the higher races
The realm of the gods, my eternal home
:icondbzfreak:
Nice. Too bad I'm not in the mood for something pro-life at the moment :/ good work, though.
