Social Misery
What is it that you want to see?
Me bleeding from cheek to cheek.
Or me slicing my neck,
Because I considered myself too weak.
What is it that you want to see?
A kid looking over a ledge,
Staring at death.
Traumatized from so much regret,
That he does a swan dive right over the edge.
Is that what you really want to see?
Because the world can be cruel sometimes,
And find joy in someone's pain and misery.

And find joy in someone's pain and misery.

Powerful! It made me think of the unfortunate tragedy where a young college student was outed by his roommate using a spy cam. He killed himself jumping off the George Washington Bridge in NYC.
This could have been written by him.
Provoking ink.

Thank you for your comment and I'm glad you like it.
That means it served it's purpose and made at least a few people think about what some people today find fun or funny
