You’re a failure,
you’re stupid,
I never liked you
You’re ugly and
no one loves you


Why?
Why can’t you let it be?
You’re wrong!
My friends,
they care,
they love me

no they don’t
how could anyone love you?
You’re vile,
you should be shot,
but you’re not worth the
bullet


Stop it!
I won’t do it,
I won’t kill myself for you!
Not again…

You really are pathetic,
you couldn’t even
do that right
even in death
you’re still a disgusting
failure


I know!
Don’t you think I know?

failure

stop… please… stop…

failure, failure
idiot, scum!


I can’t take it,
shut up, leave me alone!

Go on, do it, watch it bleed!

I want to be rid of you,
once and for all!

Break the skin!
Dig out your vein
with the blade, slit it
rip it out, cut it up
do it, you bitch!


Stop talking,
the last thing I hear
will not be you

Oh shut up and die!

Get out, get out, get out

Drop dead, freak

Get out

Come on, die

Get out

Shut up!

Wow,one angy person. I read here someone who wants to die commit suicide,yet realises their friends love them. Like talking to yourself and getting nowhere.Can almost see the tears coming down the cheeks.
No one is a failure they only think they are.Like the song
"pick yourself up,brush yourself down and start all over again"
Well done rai,glad to see you bounced back.

Cheers very much. I wasn't sure whether it was any good or not, so thanks.

Rai, this is a painful poem, but I mean that in a good way. You've got across your message and hammer home the point. I like the way you blend psychological and physical suicide in the internal/external voices. Has a great depth to it. Very good. I could never commit suicide, I know it'd only end up going wrong. Have you heard of Lupez Velez? A perfect example of a suicide gone wrong, whoops! And you can just guarantee most suicides change their mind when it's too damn late. OK, this message has turned a bit macabre. See what your poem has done! :)

The very best of everything,
Steven

Rai - you've expressed the inner turmoil so well in this piece. Powerful, gutsy writing - quite experimental in style and structure, which is always a good thing; pushing the boundaries. Well done!

Thanking you both kindly, your comments mean a lot.
I haven't heard of Lupez Velez before, but I'm sure I'll look into it now.
I thought I'd mess around with the style/structure because of the subject of it, glad it turned out so well.

Thank you both again,

-Rai-
