To Be Me

Contributed by Asatru on Wednesday, 23rd July 2003 @ 08:25:00 PM in AEST
Topic: Suicide

How about you come to my house for one night,
You can see my drunken mother and abusive brother,
Maybe then you'll know what it's like to be me,

How about you tell everyone your a pagan,
You'll want to kill yourself too after being so ridiculed,
Maybe then you'll know what it's like to be me,

How about you do something different,
You'll be considered a freak too,
Maybe then you'll know what it's like to be me,

How about you ask someone out you like,
You'll be pained by the rejection too,
Maybe then you'll know what it's like to be me,

How about you live with only one parent,
And almost never see the other one,
Maybe then you'll know what it's like to be me,

How about you come with me to my dads when I see him for the first time in a couple months,
You can see him not remember my face,
Maybe then you'll know what it's like to be me,

How about you come over late at night,
And see everyone getting drunk and behind me while I write this poem,
Maybe then you'll know what it's like to be me,

How about you look in my classroom,
And see everyone talking and laughing while I sit here alone,
Maybe then you'll know what it's like to be me,

How about you remain abstint,
And see how hard it is,
Maybe then you'll know what it's like to be me,

How about after all this you have a gun in your hand,
And you were me,
What would you do?

My sacred treasure you, will not have to fear that life too much longer. Now I am here for you, with you. I will soon take you away from the cruel darkness and, show you a world you have seen before but will now rule by my side.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
