Can't Be The Hero

I clench my fists,
And grit my teeth.
Evil lurks at the back of my mind.
In the darkness
Of my feeble mentality,
Happiness is hard to find.
So aggravated am I,
So frustrated beyond belief.
Could I be more disgusted?
Is there no relief?
Take a look at me,
And gaze in to a failure.
I strive and I attempt, but to no avail.
I cannot always be the hero,
I can’t be the world’s crutch.
I do what’s in my power, but always seem to fail.
It wasn’t within my reach,
This problem at hand.
So how was I to help,
Across waters and across land?
‘I need you, my friend!’
Is expressed across the wire.
But what can I do from many miles away?
I express my love,
And state my concern.
‘How bout a day, just us, what do you say?’
And so we make plans,
And assume all is well.
Until today when I find
What she was reluctant to tell…
The problem that seemed petty,
That seemed so minor,
Was over exaggerated to the fullest extent.
This friend turned to blades,
When a friend couldn’t be found,
And suicide was her last attempt.
Her last attempt to make it better,
To make it all go away.
But a permanent end to a temporary problem
Is foolish, I say.
I can’t be the hero,
The saint, I am not.
So look upon this failure and shake your head.
Be disgusted,
As I am at my friend,
Who thought the answer was just to be dead.
Thank god for her lack of courage,
I’m thankful she’s still alive.
But I remain disgusted,
That she tried to take her own life.
Next time, dear friend,
Try telling me in full.
Talk out your morbid thoughts with me.
But if a next time should be
Where you want to attempt again,
I will kill you, so to metaphorically speak…
I can’t be the hero,
And I shouldn’t have to threat.
But suicide is not the answer,
Solution comes not from death…
Sincerely signed,
Your disgusted friend

| What honesty. ..but you cannot really be mad at this friend, eh. It's tough to come out and say.. "Oh, yeh.. by the way.. I attempted suicide." It's really tough. Maybe, you could try to see the situation from her point of view. = |

| this was a good write. i felt like i was in your shoes. well ive been in that place before myself. i wasnt mad at them though. i was only mad when they said they would attempt suicide and it was basically for attention. but i hope your friend is doing better and that you arent so distgusted with them. it is true. death does not give a solution. |

What is petty to one, is not to another, had you seen it in that light and understood....maybe the blade would not have shown....maybe there would not have been a need. Who is the hero, but the one who faces the monsters in the darkness, no mater how petty.
Thanks for sharing. |
