Not for the faint of heart

Oh...you say you suffer so  
parading around your "open wound"  
like it's a piece of meat
on the butcher's counter  
The tasteless, corny drama  
you present as your own
to get people's attention  
your cheap suicidal musings  
gutwrenching contortions of a morose mind  
throwing out tentacles  
feeding of other's energy  
There is indeed real suffering in the world  
People getting ripped apart  
in war zones every day  
with no choice but to endure  
and to be there for each other  
and here are you  
wallowing in your decadent, pathetic bullshit  
making a grotesque spectacle of yourself  
because your mommy didn't wipe your ass  
when you were an infant  
and because your boyfriend  
doesn't want to do it either  
so he left you with your crusty butt  
............................................................  
So may I polititely offer you  
A solution to your torment:  
If you send me your address  
I will send you in the mail  
a 38 special  
so your next attempt  
won't fail  
 
Sincerely  
A.

Author's Note
This poem is not meant to be an attack on people who have killed themselves or actually do seriously considering to commit suicide. I understand that's out there and I have had some friends who took their own life, usually without making it a public spectacle. This poem is about people who use the suicide theme to sound hip or get attention or manipulate other people with guilt. That really pisses me off and does a disservice to people who really need help. Someone who is serious might be ignored because you can shout " Wolf" only so many times till nobody cares anymore because of all the posers.
