#poetry#poem#lena's grief poetry archives#lena's poetry archives#writerblr#grief#poets on tumblr#grief poetry#look assholes i've wanted to snuff myself out before so. it's not like i can't empathise#this poem is about Caring and Anger that i am both ashamed of and feel justified about#and i wrote it after i had a conversation backstage at a drag show where i was too drunk#i wasn't in control of my drinking at the time frankly. and the other person was high and i was just. i was drunk and sloppy but i was also#a doctor - i am. i am a medstudent. and this became an informed consent conversation in its way#i cannot talk you out of it. i cannot force you to stay alive i don't have that authority over you#but you. you have to Look At ME. you have to look at what that did to me and you have to Decide that you are actually okay#with doing that to the people who love you. i know i'm not. but like i said i can't make that decision for you#i am just giving you all the information - you have to look at me. it broke me. it ruined me. it killed me. you have to Look.#you have to face what i symbolise#that conversation ended midway because my friend got fucking roofied and then i was dealing with that#they were fine - i was fine - the person i was talking to is afaik fine#it was just one of those miserable summer nights#i quit drinking for a while after that.
