Grief Is Trendy Now
<p>Life is actually insane, don’t you think?</p><p><br/></p><p>You can be drowning right in front of people,</p><p>crying in sentences,</p><p>posting pain in fragments,</p><p>and all they see is noise.</p><p><br/></p><p>Suddenly you’re “too much.”</p><p>Too sad.</p><p>Too dramatic.</p><p>An attention seeker.</p><p><br/></p><p>God forbid you speak instead of die quietly.</p><p><br/></p><p>But the moment the air leaves your lungs?</p><p>Boom.</p><p><br/></p><p>Everybody becomes a mourner.</p><p><br/></p><p>Black-on-black fits like it’s a fashion week finale.</p><p>Darkest sunglasses.</p><p>Phones out.</p><p>Stories up.</p><p>Captions ready.</p><p><br/></p><p>The news spreads faster than comfort ever did.</p><p>Faster than a single “are you okay?”</p><p>Faster than showing up when it mattered.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Oh I didn’t know she was going through anything.”</p><p>“She didn’t even show a sign.”</p><p><br/></p><p>Shut. Up.</p><p><br/></p><p>I screamed the signs.</p><p>I handed them to you raw and shaking.</p><p>You called me an overthinker.</p><p>You replied to my breakdowns with</p><p>“hmm”</p><p>“sorry.”</p><p><br/></p><p>That was it.</p><p>That’s all my pain was worth.</p><p><br/></p><p>And now you want to look good at my funeral?</p><p>Now you want to perform grief</p><p>like my suffering wasn’t an inconvenience to you before?</p><p><br/></p><p>I swear, if ghosts could walk,</p><p>mine wouldn’t float.</p><p>Mine would drag you.</p><p>Strip you of the fake empathy,</p><p>the fake tears,</p><p>the fire outfit you bought just to feel involved.</p><p><br/></p><p>I’d beat the truth into you</p><p>until you remembered every time you chose silence.</p><p><br/></p><p>But it’s fine, right?</p><p><br/></p><p>It’s always fine.</p><p>Until someone stops breathing</p><p>and suddenly everyone claims they cared.</p><p><br/></p><p>A celebrity died and inspired this, yeah.</p><p>But don’t get it twisted.</p><p><br/></p><p>This isn’t about fame.</p><p>It’s about how y’all only listen</p><p>when it’s too late</p><p>and finally quiet.</p>
