when TRAGEDY happens, what do you do? (here's what i do)?

Question

i write stuff like this
*cut me out of here* my tears are up to my neck and one by thousands they drop like meteors from the sky drowning out any last drop of hope left in this place. i need a surface worth claiming as my foundation (like i once had in your slipping hands), but now i've fallen not only deep into this ocean full of regret but also in a love that wasn't even worth getting my feet wet. or were my arms wrapped around your waist and my lips grazing the side of your face worth this hopeless fight for a sorry poem.

*tell me what u do*

Answer 1

Well even though it wasn't a happy poem it was also like the rest, very good. You are an amazing writer and the poem was sad but i still really liked. I don't think i have ever felt this way.

Answer 2

I guess what I do depends on the tragedy at hand.

Sometimes I write poetry also, but more often than not I try to understand the reason behind the tragedy and to see what I can possibly do to prevent it in the future.

Other times the best thing seems to be doing nothing.

I guess we all do whatever makes us feel better, but express it in different ways. You do poetry, I contemplate.

I suppose it's all healthy as long as we don't do something that makes situations worse. Sometimes we do that too.

Answer 3

Honestly?!?

I take a lot of Xanax and go to sleep until I feel like facing whatever tragedy is occuring. Sometimes, I might just sleep until the tragedy is completely over.

If it's something that I MUST deal with myself or cannot go to sleep for, I'll normally just bottle myself up until it's over and then complete Steps 1 and 2 (aka Xanax and sleep). :o)

I guess if I could write like you, I wouldn't need to drug myself into oblivion, but we aren't all that talented...
