Too Young to Die

Too Young to Die

A Poem by Roxanne
"

kids can hurt too... TW: suicide

"

I should be popping pimples, but instead I’m popping pills

Worried ‘bout money, but not the one paying bills

And I am such a f*****g mess, much to my dismay

But I’m not old enough to die

Hope not to keep it that way

When the doctor says I’m sick, I say “what’s it this time?”

Says there’s a problem in my head, but I’m feeling just fine

A cure for every problem

That’s what I’d like to get

And when s**t don’t budge, I guess I’ll throw a f*****g fit

This world is full of evil

Finding good is pretty rare

I never wanted to be here

This s**t is just not fair

But I’m not old enough to die

So, I’ll just rot in bed

Waiting ‘till eighteen to put a bullet in my head.

Roxanne,
Everyone is too young to die! What if if the bible were true and Methuselah who lived 969 years! Imagine his disappointment of not making it the last 31... I'm sure he thought he'd died too young.. Or Sue Grafton, a wonderful detective story writer who wrote a novel with the same character for each letter of the alphabet... "A is for Alibi," etc, but died while writing the Z! Yeah, she was too young to go, too. I'm 75, and still MUCH too young to die!

Well damn, yeah.

"This world is full of evil

Finding good is pretty rare

I never wanted to be here

This s**t is just not fair"

These lines hit hard. The lives we live today are far more hopeless than the lives of those before us, it's a miracle we continue to live.
