A Cry For Help
Memories are terribly wonderful things.
They can remind you of happiness and success,
or they can bury you under grief and regret.
You can give in to them and dive
into madness, or rise above and
soar away, looking back with abhorrence.
How do I know? *chuckle* I
fell into madness long ago,
I have been shattered and
clumsily glued back together as if by a child.
Those Like me don't need
sympathy or pity, just someone who will
set themselves aside to help. We don't tell
because everything is the
same. The pity---No Let Me Talk.
You all pity us, but don't do a thing to
help us. We sit
here suffering, asking for help, and
You. Just. Watch.
Are we that much of
a bother, a revolting
creature? Is it you don't want to see the
real world so you can go on living your
"perfect life?" Well I've got neds for you,
We're still here. I plan to haunt your
memories. You are all the same. Are
you hurt? Well you
have no idea what
the rest of us go
through. Open your eyes
it can make for some
pretty good memories.

This was inspired by my own ideas at the time I wrote it, a time of lonliness and anger, and the dramatic monologue of Joker in "The Killing Joke." Something I want the reader to know is that the "we" pertains to the many like the speaker, and the pieces that were shattered and put back together. These pieces basically came alive to signify the many differant "us's" there are within one body.
