I... I... I bow to you. Theres just no other way to express it.

Except for this:
Thank you *applauds*

I think I just fell hopelessly in love with you. THANK YOU. That's why I don't read 99.9-percent poetry on here (or anything labled "angst" in general). It's all like, "lol i h8 my lif i wanna dye y did bobby br8k up wit me lolz cut my wrists" and it's like SHUT THE HELL UP, you little emo**!

I agree. Nice poem.

Again the views in this poem are your own which i respect. The meaning behind the poem i would have to say very good. However just a bit of critisism and please don't take offense but if you wanted to express your annoyance at angst you could have expressed it better. The shut up bit was just a bit childish. However i do like the part that you try and mimic what you feel a cutter would write, that part was written very well.

Wo0t! IagreeIagreeIagree! Awsome job! *thumbs up*

deliciously furious, with an awesome point to boot. your a/n sets the most awesome tone, by the way.

"I lift this razor to my wrist/The blood spills all over my sheets/Like my tainted tears.../Why won't he/she love me?" -> GOD. how many times do you read this in one day?? it's so refreshing to read something that addresses this head on.

"If you want to die/Then speak with your counselor." -> you have a point there. the counselors around here are so boring they could kill.

Pretty good! I found this because I just uploaded a similar (although much more subtle) poem about this kind of stuff. Except mine attacks all forms of poetry, to an extent. ;-)

Good poem, though... I admit unrhyming poetry has never been my favorite, but I agree with this one.

Haha, I just have to laugh at this one.

I'm on both sides--I'll write depressing poetry, not about suicide or self-mutulation (I'm not into that kind of stuff), but depressing nonetheles, but I make fun of it as well, and don't see the point in multiple identical poems being written about hurting yourself!

xD That's awesome.

What you seem to be ranting about is *bad poetry*. :)

Now, insecurities can be written well in fiction. Just not in the instance that you described. These are generally written by pre-teens and teenagers (young people who are easily pushed to one mood or the other).

Sometimes I'd wish they'd just kill themselves and spare us the horrible poetry. Most of the time I just shake my head and continue on.

(Hopefully) They'll grow out of it, look back at their 'work' and be incredibly embarrassed that they let something mediocre affect them so.

lovelovelove this poem, the word "shut up" has never been so glorified and so unvulgar in a poem 'til this day. you describe the whole thing beautifully, the lines that were in parenthesis were immediatly striking. was that a real poem, did you copy and paste? it seemed so real in that bad-poetry way. it IS how it is and i just swoon over this ectsaticly. lovelovelove.

“I lift this razor to my wrist /The blood spills all over my sheets /Like my tainted tears… /Why won’t he/she love me?”

Did you copy that from someone's poem? It's perfect. This poem, I think, could've done without the "shut up" lines, but it's good otherwise. Like Faithless Juliet said, it isn't exactly humor, but it's close enough. You could probably make it funny if you wanted to. It would probably take more exaggeration...but anyway, I'm rambling.

Good one. If only they'd read it. ;-)

Wow, that was original! I liked it, although I do have a poem about suicide on here I sometimes feel that way too. I'm gonna add this to my favourites 'cause it's good. Well done!~Savetheplanet ^-^

Harsh, but tis free speech. *shrugs*

I don't know if I really agree with you on this though. I mean, I do think a lot of the angst poems get a bit too personal to be put all over FP - as in, I'd have no idea what to write back in a review - and a lot of them do seem to read the same, yet, I think it's a lot better to write about it then to actually go and do it. It's less damaging, you know?

You called it "releasing" feelings in the summary, which is true, but isn't that one of the main objectives of poetry? If you think about it, you "released feelings" in this poem too... Just a thought! *shrugs*

The last two lines are, well, I liked them in a strange way...even though I think it makes the whole self-harm problem a lot lighter than it really is. A kind of humor only some people can take I guess.

Yeah, so overal a pretty clever write. *nods*

Haha interesting last two lines; so captivating. (my mom's a counselor and I agree totally). Great job.

Harsh, but harsh in a loving way! I agree with you to an extent. I think suicide is stupid and pointless and I do get the feeling of “Whatever!” Nine out of ten times that I read about it but still it’s all about expression. If you need to say that then I wish you well. This is cool. Not necessarily humor though, I wish they had more categories on here like (Opinion - or - Lucid Experience) this is very good though; you speaking your own opinion through someone else tendencies. Keep up the good work.

Much love,Juliet.
