Melancholic Poetry #1 - Resumé by Dorothy Parker

I just realized two things about poetry and I:

1. Poetry makes me feel good; I feel a world better whenever I am down after reading or writing a poem

2. I mainly enjoy depressing, sad, melancholic poems

I pretty much adore poetry!

So I thought I would share/talk about some of my favourite poems, in no particular order, in the coming days/weeks (I should blog more often. But I feel noone reads these things anyway. But I digress). 

So this poem is by Dorothy Parker. It is titled Resumé. Parker suffered from depression for a portion of her life. It was written in 1956.

Resumé - Dorothy Parker

Razors pain you;

Rivers are damp;

Acids stain you;

And drugs cause cramp.

Guns aren’t lawful;

Nooses give;

Gas smells awful;

You might as well live.
