Grow the F**k Up

For you lovable Emos...and your terrible writing :D

Its not okay for you or me to be sad.
The world only stops when they're the ones crying.
So grow the f**k up.

Sometimes people get sad...
I'd like to think we're the only ones.
They'll force themselves to swallow some delusion that Life's some old man
who ended up keeping their ball when it landed in his yard.
Paranoia becomes their friend,
but, for us, a voice inside our head will turn nasty.

Sharp objects start to look friendly and in a last attempt,
we'll want to see the color red run more freely down our wrist.
Because its what we need--our hope for an escape.
We're the red running, escaping, reeling out from our fleshy prison
and descend like the petals of a weeping rose.
Yet in their eyes we'll never truly be the ones who need to be saved;
we're not Emos.

Its not okay for you or me to be sad.
The world only stops when they're the ones crying.
So grow the f**k up.

Author's Note

Don't really care about stereotypes, but felt like sending the Emo-kids a message.

I felt gay...so I wrote this gay shite--and just so you know, this is more sarcastic and mocking than serious.

Oh, and just remember, kiddies:

Razor blades are used for shaving, not cutting your wrists ^____^


I support Anti-Emo...ism-whatever :3
Thanks.

You're outspoken ... I like that.

Nice ranting. I used to be emo, and still would be if I could. I agree with you . . . about some of this stuff, anyway.

[blacknyellowchick]

that's true i love it. it actually makes you think which it's new to me loll. it is kinda dumb to cut your wrist. it will hurt to do that. i m not emo but what does that help you with. i think all they want is attention. but that just me.

Ohh...wow! This piece is awesome = ] There's an equal balance of wit and depth in this piece. It would be a different story if this wasn't just a "trend" or style and if people didn't pretend to be depressed. Depression is a serious issue, not a game. So, I agree with you! Great piece...

I loved reading this poem- especially with what I'm dealing with right now. I have friends that will not be quiet about their horrible lives when there are tons of people out there that have it worse. Just because you're going through a tough time doesn't mean the only option is to pick up a knife/razor blade/whatever and cut yourself. Those scars last forever, and the emotional breakdown won't last forever.

Everyone says that they can't be happy when happiness is a mood, not a gift. If you don't want to be happy- then you don't have to be.

Thank you for the brilliant write mademoiselle, looking forward to seeing more of your extraordinary poetry!

A interesting poem. I like the dark wit expressed in this piece. I don't like mocking other people's depression but emo kids and people who write teen angst just for the sake of it and who get a kick out of pretending to be depressed, are annoying and sick. I liked the message 'grow the f**k up' it reminded me of a famous Philip Larkin poem that was addressed to parents in a similar manner, I like that yours is expressed to the younger generation. Those whom are the future, yet seem to let their youth go to waste these days. Old fart rant over and that said your poem is thought provoking, dark and humorous.
