2024 and I still come back to listen.

I revist this poem every so often just to remind myself that I'm not alone, that other people have felt this before.

Still ❤❤❤❤❤

I constantly come back to this sometimes. This piece literally saved my life when I was younger...cause for the first time. I didn't feel alone in my fight against it.

Breakup Poem - Rage Almighty There was a dim streetlight That shivered in a naked parking lot Under the honesty of midnight and the deception of storm clouds Two drunken tongues argued ourselves sober As irony - made the air so thin And tragedy - made breathing so bitter We came to the ironic and tragic conclusion That being in love Is not a good reason for two people to stay together Irony: we had sex in this parking lot like a bunch of times right When a mattress was too fragile for our inhibitions Why love so hard on something so soft; we’re exhibitionists because some things are better received in public places Tragedy: so here we are Irony: we speak to each other so aggressively But communicate like pallbearers Tragedy: we laugh like opening caskets and smile like slit throats Irony: we’re horror story lovers afraid of a happy ending Irony: every argument then, is like the apocalypse now Tragedy: there is no tomorrow Irony: we knew this yesterday Tragedy: your heart beats Antigone - and I can’t be your Sophocles If I could rewrite this I would but I can’t so we’re here In this concrete cemetery approaching the afterlife of our relationship In every scary movie I’ve ever seen - tortured spirits don’t cross over So let’s walk away before we end up haunting each other for the rest of our lives Let’s stop being the Walking Dead and confirm that we’re the X-Files Mouths - numb from yelling Fingers - cramped from pointing Uncomfortable silence... is the sound of a glass house breaking And it ended with a kiss A reluctant smile and a mutual understanding that this has been torn apart and put together so many times The lines don’t match Our eyes don’t match Don’t sink We’ve sunk - to the lowest level of resentment with truthful lips Irony: you should never let a fool kiss you, And never let a kiss fool you Tragedy: I’ll probably be kissing women with thirty pieces of silver beneath my tongue when I leave you Irony: the most successful liars are the most honest people you’ll ever meet Tragedy: the most successful liars are the most honest people you’ll ever meet Irony: we’re only honest with each other when it comes to dishonesty Tragedy: peace with you was worth the war And I’ve given you pieces of me that I’ve never given myself They say - in order to rebuild, you must first destroy So maybe if we broke down We wouldn’t be breaking up Under the shivering streetlight In this naked parking lot Irony: I’m just now realizing that I’m going to be in love with you for the rest of my life Tragedy: you’re not gonna be around to know it

A decade later & i still come back to this video.

10years later and I still come back to this

I have listened to this video possibly ten thousand times through out the years..many years.. you explain depression to a T

I come to this poem often. I hope he knows it speaks to us.

Still to this day for years this is the exact understanding of what ive felt for most if not all my life..this still makes me cry ..."but the only explanation is crazy, but you wouldnt call me crazy if you knew how much i hate me"

❤

Damn!

😢 I miss my bro and that awesome poetry. They’ll never be another.

💙💙💙💙

This is my favorite poem in the world

Rest Easy mane

I still know this poem word for word.

Wow. He hit the nail on the head and his delivery was incredible. Nobody talks about seizures and sometimes we just want to know others’ understand the time bomb in our brain.

Im lost for words🤐🤐🤐🤐

Every time I start hating myself I listen to this.... Thank you you have saved me more then once.

Wow what an amazing poem. I can't begin to fully express what it means to me

Pray for me family

❤❤wrote my first poem today

I want to leave a comment that will accurately convey how I stepped into that poem and felt it scrape at my scars but I will just a leave a comment, for now, that says: Ouch.

Found this ages ago and I still come back to feel validated. In a better place than before but still struggling. The ups and downs of life is debilitating sometimes.

8 years later and this poem is even more therapeutic in my adults hood than it was in my childhood

😢perfect

I miss him so much. Had to come here and hear his voice.

9 years after this was posted. I found it. Brought tears to my eyes. Very relatable brother🙏🏽

"you grant me the serenity to accept things I cannot change" "Lord please forgive my gagged edges my mother gave birth to broken glass"

This is so beautiful, the ending whew. ❤️‍🩹

R.I.P Rage 😢

These words still hit true

6 years ago I come back and I like this even more. I'm so glad I found it.

I miss you. Rest In Heaven poet

*PHEW that last line though*

RIP to this amazing poet

RIP RAGE

✌️, 💕 And 🙏 Blessing's...

Fucking legendary

It's July 6, 2022 and I'm hearing this for the 2nd time and the 1 st time today. I saw the year it was posted and I needed to hear more. I looked up your social media and how amazing, that even after your physical being has long moved on, your legacy continues to move lives.

I come back to this poem often.

"Tragedy, there is no tomorrow Irony, we knew this yesterday" 💔🙏🏻😔

You hold heaven in your bottom lip yet kiss me like hell

For years I've listened to this. I for years I've told people to listen to this when they ask me what it's like to be depressed. You have been my anchor for many years now my friend. Thank you. I hope you are surviving.

10 years later and this still hits home . 🤍

I miss you Rage. 🤍

Thank you for information🙂

Still gets me choked up

😔🙏🏽thank you
