Better to burn out, than to fade away -Kurt Cobain


they want to know why.

they all want to know why.  

but how can i answer when i

want to know why myself.

she didnt love me.

she never loved me.

Why didnt she love me?

she was never proud of me.

she said i would never do great things.

Are you proud of me now?

i didnt want to hurt anyone.

but she hurt me everyday.

Are you sorry now?

my lonely screams in the night

soon were multiplied by an entire race.

i wanted her people to feel my pain.

i wanted to erase every trace of her

from this loveless planet we call earth.

i wanted them all to suffer

just like i did.

and i stopped at nothing.

i never intended to hurt anyone.

but she didnt love me.

she said i would never amount to anything.

but i made history mama.

I did it.

Are you proud of me yet?


The author's comments:

In English class, we were discussing why did Hitler decide to annihilate the entire Jewish race.  I felt that maybe his mother was Jewish, and he had issues with her.  That is what inspired me to write this.
