i, in effect
have become noteworthy
for being worth nothing
for calling my own bluff
pushing my cannon uphill
took so long
that the war was over when i reached the top
for pricking my finger
on cactus after cactus
and never learning any better
writing, directing, and starring in
my own b-movie thriller
about my thrilling nonexistence
on a couch, in a cold room
and part of me will miss you forever
and part of me is very concerned
with me
my well-being
my stability
i have lost everything good in my life
and a lot of it unfairly
and thanks for smashing the only lightbulb left

white arrows
prove there is still love
from my end

"Stuff White People Like"

#70 Difficult Breakups
February 18, 2008 by clander

Prior to engaging in divorce, most white people train for it by engaging in a series of long term relationships that end very poorly. At some point, you will likely encounter a white person who is in the middle of a difficult breakup with a boyfriend or girlfriend.

The suffering of heartbreak is universal, but it is important to be aware that white people thrive during these trying times. If you play your cards right, you can parlay these moments into future favors and valuable trust.

The majority of white person art is created after a difficult breakup; films, indie music, and poetry are all kicked into high production during the end of a relationship. This helps train white people to prepare for the pain that is coming.

Once breakup proceedings have been initiated, a white person is immediately thrust into the center of attention in their circle of friends. During this time, they are permitted to talk at great lengths about themselves, listen to The Smiths, and get free dinners from friends who think “they shouldn’t be alone right now.”

It is imperative that you do not attempt to kick them out of their misery by saying things like “get over it,” “there are other people out there,” or “I don’t want to read your poem.” Implying that there things in the world more important to you than their breakup is considered one of the rudest actions possible.

If you are lucky enough to speak a second language, the best thing you can do for a white person in this situation is to give them an expression in that language that relates to breaking up. This will make them feel better since they are comforted by the gesture and happy to be learning a new sentence that they can reuse to with their friends.

Nice poem. Loss is always hard.

Here is someone else whose suffering at the hands of a Rebecca. I hope it brings a little smile to your face (It's posted with the intention of shining a little light into the darkness).
