Urvi Kumbhat

Depressed Poem from Gilmore Girls Quotes

It's all any of us wants:
to throw your life away— 

the standing and the walking
and the words-putting-into-sentence doing— 

commemorate it with an oil painting.
Not a lot to ask!

My other two personalities become
cynical and self-absorbed.

It was beautiful or something:
a motorcycle and more time.

If you're going, better
stop drinking coffee.

I, I stop doing.
Tomorrow, I'm planning on

despising a nice person.
Oh yes, in there: a social engagement.

Unless, however, you find a severed head.
Resolution for everyone who says,

Hey, how's it going? —
the proper signal is appropriate.

The way to indicate we're open
is to be mortified until we drop dead.
