Surviving by Hatred & Apathy

[razorjak]

Thank you Dorothy Parker:

Razors pain you
Rivers are damp
Acids stain you
Drugs cause cramp
Guns aren't lawful
Nooses give
Ah, what the hell
You might as well live.

... that's the apathy that is keeping me alive.

The hatred keeping me alive is knowing the Universe truly despises me. If it loved me, it'd have the decency to fucking kill me instead of slowing destroying my body and giving me a small hope of happiness only to tear it away from me once I come to depend on it. So ... I've come to hate it back.

My life is a walking Entropy field ... I swear. Everything I touch ... Everything I depend on ... turns to shit and offal.

i thought there was a line "gas smells awful."

i'm feeling overly-loved by the lords of chaos, myself.

i hope things get better for you.

The way I learned it has the Ah what the hell line replacing the Gas Smells Awful line.

I am not a poetic scholar so do not know which version is "authentic".

[sabinenotagoth.livejournal.com]

i don't either. but it's still a great poem.

When it all seems too black, remember that you have friends who care for you a great deal. You will never want for a roof over your head or a symapathetic ear as long as we're here.

Thank you

I've needed to see this poem for awhile now.

Just sorry you needed it too.

Be well.

Don't know what to say other than to let you know that you are not alone in feeling that way.

Do *I* get any thanks here, or is it just a coincidence?

Heh ... scarily enough, It's a coincidence. I guess more than a handful of us are in DP mode.

Hey, sometimes Entropy is a good thing...

Just turn the entropy on the person making you suffer instead of forcing yourself to deal with it. It's much more fun.
