Portrait of a Girl's Angst
I burnt another hole in my lungs,
Slashed my wrists
Just to see if I was alive.
And now I’m drowning in this crimson tub.
They feel sorry for you
And ashamed of me.
It would have been great
If I had grown up,
Married you,
Spat out two point three kids.
But I can’t do that now
And it’s my fault.
Always my fault…
You must know that I’m fucked up;
Or at least know that I’m fucked
Never mind the laws;
Or the pills;
Or the smiles;
That I have to break, take and fake
Just to be happy.
But you wouldn’t know that
Unless you look inside and imagine
Lying dead in a world that thinks you’re still alive;
Admiring the beauty of your corpse.
Slashed my wrists
Just to see if I was alive.
And now I’m drowning in this crimson tub.
They feel sorry for you
And ashamed of me.
It would have been great
If I had grown up,
Married you,
Spat out two point three kids.
But I can’t do that now
And it’s my fault.
Always my fault…
You must know that I’m fucked up;
Or at least know that I’m fucked
Never mind the laws;
Or the pills;
Or the smiles;
That I have to break, take and fake
Just to be happy.
But you wouldn’t know that
Unless you look inside and imagine
Lying dead in a world that thinks you’re still alive;
Admiring the beauty of your corpse.

This is satire, right?

This is the result of extreme boredom and about 10 minutes of writing

I regret many things. This goes right on top that list.

I'm glad you like them! Please don't say things like "it kinda relates to meeh atm". Scares me to death thinking of any friends thinking like this. I'll print you a copy of the poems to disregard at your leisure.

Just another thought
Admiring the beauty (insert break here) of your corpse.
The angst makes me itchy but it might as well still be good.

perhaps just 'admiring your beauty', which would almost be ironic.

Ah, that's good. Risky though, because it just makes you sound really angsty. But I like the irony... must say that I'm a little torn.

As a poem, it has some merit. I completely agree with you on the irksome nature of the angst, but the idea was formulated while i was mopping and took about 10 minutes to transfer to paper.
