juliet, esther: suicide wish

by Lindsay Ann - Gemini

juliet, where's the happy dagger that you gleefully pierced your heart with
did you tell him leave some poison for me, too
cause my man's afraid to die for love
(he's got living left to do)

esther, can i bleed with you underneath the glass of your bell jar
is there room for me to leave with you
cause i hate the way they look at me
(i think they hate me too)

let me jump in your pages, esther and juliet
and turn my life into words
would you ask your authors, if they weren't dead
to kill me off in a prose or a chapter
and feed me to the audience of which you were fed

and i could become a classic, like you, intead of just being low class
my readers would be addicted to this heroine
in real life, you just end up dead
in your life, you're a legend.

Reason for writing:

    i'm a fan of sylvia plath, and was feeling kinda depressed today
