Suicide

She's just looking for attention
That has to be it, right?
Just a melodramatic girl
They ignore all the signs

She's just looking for attention
That's what they're all saying
It's funny how when it's all said and done
They'll cry that they didn't see it coming

She's just looking for attention
They yell "You shouldn't joke about suicide!"
She represses a bitter laugh and thinks
Too bad I won't see your reaction to the punchline
It ****** me off how depression and suicide are so stigmatized that people can't reach out for help without being called an attention seeker. I hate how our society can't have real conversations about suicide and every sign is ignored. I don't know. I've been really suicidal recently.

Ghazal
Happiness is a desired fantasy,
Pain is an unwanted pleasure.

Reality is a world built with lies,
Dreams are just a realistic illusion.

Past is a nightmare set to reappear,
Future is an unpleasant mystery.

life is a path lost in assumptions,
Death is an uncertain invitation.

isn't it a shame how
one little memory ruins
such appetizing scenery?

a bus stop by a hotel.
empty church parking lot.
the riverside pier.

if I could frame those spaces
and show you what I saw
maybe you'd change your mind.

a fear of falling fast.
stumbling youth left unlived.
promises broken.
Three women.

You are both the rainbow
And the *** of gold at the end of it.
