no offense

I don't mean to make fun of anyone's pain, but late at night, when I'm bored and just perusing live journals, I find a lot of people with these very intentionally dark and depressed entries. They're often in the form of really awful poetry. Let me see if I can make up an example:
You do not know my arms
Burning flesh.
Darkness is everywhere.
Sometimes I think it would be better
If I were to sink into a hole
Like a cat
With an injured paw.

Or something like that. Entries like that are mostly in the journals of teen girls. Now, I remember my teen years and I remember that they kind of sucked for the most part. Definitely not a time of life I would want to revisit. And I'm sure if I dug up my poetry or writing from then I'd be very embarrassed. I'm just kind of glad mine isn't on LJ for cynical old broads like me to stumble upon.
Anyway, must find tylenol
