What Do You Know?

Suicide

Do you know me?
Look at me just look at me.
Ive never been diagnosed, or analyzed, or seen by a specialist.
But I could tell you better than any one of them whats wrong with me.
Watch me as I take this breath.
Did you catch that?
Look closely.
I didnt appreciate that breath at all.
I dont appreciate any of them, anymore.
And what was this poem even about?
I cant remember!
I was concentrating so hard
on forcing myself to breathe for you,
even though I didnt want to, I made myself breathe for you!
And now I cant remember what this poem is about.
Thats the way it always happens,
and thats why I get so angry!
Thats why I hate what I see in the mirror,
an abomination, as grotesque and unlovable
as any Opera Ghost!
And thats why I sit in silence,
while the world goes on bubbling around my corner of personal space.
Its because they dont care,
and because theres too much to say
with too little time and no one to listen.
Its because even if I could say something right now
that would touch your heart or change your life
or inspire you to be great or anything else that you are hoping Ill do,
in a few minutes youll walk out of this room and begin to forget me.
It may take an hour, it may take a week, it may even take a year,
but it will happen,
and sooner or later I wont matter to you, or to anyone else!
And neither will you.
So what do you know about life?
What exactly have you done that makes that breath you just took worth taking?
I hope, for your sake, that you have an answer.
Because I dont.
