So I know not many people check out Literature, and I know I don’t get serious all that often, but recent events prompted me to write this poem.
Deep inside it stirs,
Only I can sense its presence.
Where is my life going?
No one can say but I.
When did it all become less fun?
I used to love it all.
They would cry out my name
Happiness abounded in me.
Maybe I would still be there if I tried.
Even some effort would do.
Sadly, I cannot do this.
Oh if only they knew how little I do,
Never accomplishing anything,
Anything at all,
Killing myself one step at a time.
Perhaps I should give in,
Raise the white flag, throw in the towel.
A thousand years could not help me
I have failed so many times,
So many times, but they all end,
End in failure.
So why do I continue?
Only for others.
Let myself be consumed,
Eliminate this body,
Kill me in the name of the people.
So yeah, hopefully I didn’t ruin your day or anything.
Also, you might want to read the first letter of each line
So… would you be offended/insulted if I treated this with sarcasm or not?
Remember, if you need to express yourself more explicitly, we’re here for you, and I’m sure some or most of us have gone through a similar situation. I think I have.
Edit:
I have no idea about how you see this but according to my place in my life, this is beautiful
nobody includes me
No but in all seriousness, I do actually check out the Literature Topics. They just require a lot more time and dedication, so I usually save them for last on my unreads/news.
I guess so. Never really considered it.
Is it deeper than the bottomless pit that is @Nyran’s ego?
wait what
“Hey Meso, remember that one time you messed up the Episode Number? OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”
Well if your feeling down life, here is my simple solution: Ignore the negative feelings. Just straight up ignore and drop them. And then proceed to move on with life.
It’s what I do on a regular basis. How do you think I’ve stayed on the message boards for so long when my topics always get mixed reception?
Also: “Down with Mesonak, Praise Solek”… Yeah, this really throws the poem out of orbit. It really confuses the message of the poem.
I give this Poem a 5/10. Seriously, the secret message is really confusing me. And it clashes with the main message of the poem. Plus the poem looks a little…sloppy…in my opinion.
