NOTE: this poem sucks...i know. but a friend of my friend's hung himself in his back yard and i wrote this for him. strong critquing is needed...i would really love to make this a good poem.
the emo kid doesn't tell you to stop
when he stands in the middle of the highway
"don't let the danger ahead stop you"
he says, cracking his knuckles
while six trucks head for his life
the emo kid stands in the path of wicked
sitting in the seat of the scornful
he lies his head in the path of thorns
it doesn't matter where he bleeds
"never move from the middle of the tracks"
he says, tossing the change in his pocket.
he learns to love his murderer
and the sound of the train
is never haunting
since it doesn't matter where he bleeds
forty-eight hours later
six feet down,
in the corner of a field
they call a cemetery
the emo kid didn't know how to stop.
