I don't get what's so cool about being 'emo'.

Since the definition for 'emo' is "short form for the word emotional", I don't get why it's cool.

I mean, what's so cool about exposing your innermost thoughts, let it be clearly displayed on your face? What exactly is the appeal of being dark and abused?

Are you trying to be a marysue? Or are you simply trying to gain attention?

Have you ever truly felt what it is like to be miserable, to be the one stepped on, treated like dirt? Oh sure, we want what we can't have right? If we possess something, we want more of it. What merit do you get from being emo?

Oh, it's probably all the popular girls or guys trying to be cooler then they are already. They haven't felt what it is like to be miserable, to dread everyday, so they thought it would be 'cool' and great to pretend to be the abused damsel in distress.

Please DON'T be emo if you are truly aren't. If you aren't treated like you are the scum of society, if you aren't treated like the pile of excrement, then please don't act like you do.

Do you think being miserable is fun? All dark and brooding?

You don't know that feeling, as if a heavy cursed anchor is sinking deep into your being, your very soul, slowly taking away all that is precious to you, turning the presents in your arms into poison. You don't know the feeling of depression, of silence, when you desperately want someone to truly befriend you, and they laugh. You don't know the feeling of slowly being dragged from earth until you reach the condemning depths of hell.

You don't know the misery of secrets, the loneliness of no one to accompany you save for your true friends, who you seek for comfort for a mere half an hour. You won't know that feeling of anguish, that pain in your chest when you find out about a betrayal, the bitter tears shed. You won't know of being cut off from everything, till the only thing that keeps you weakly fighting is sheer will, determination, that thin, fragile lone ray of sunlight.

So you think 'emo' is fun? You won't have a choice when despair falls upon you.

If I were so called 'emo' I will hide my feelings and build up walls to protect. I won't go about telling everyone proudly that I'm emo.

Sometimes when you hold a precious treasure in your arms, you won't recognise it until it's taken away from you. Are you so tired of happiness that you've begun your deadly search for misery? Are you doing it for the sake of being 'cool'?

Please, don't give me your disgusting, so called act 'emo' poems or msn nick-names. I can see the fakeness behind it all, the stupidity. It is congealing, like slime, undesirable.

Instead of trying to appear 'cool' and make another false persona, why don't you just be yourself?

Do you seriously think cutting your flesh and letting blood spill is good? Sure, let's all get infections, blood loss and unsightly scars! Let's all scribble 'emo' lines to show everyone how desperate and pathetic we are!

I have no objections whatsoever to those who are truly miserable. I am only addressing the fakers.

Just be yourself. I do not see any need to fit into any group, because, after all, that persona might one day shatter or weaken, when you aren't able to hold it up. You can't bluff people all the time.

This concludes my post about 'emo'tism. Comments are welcome, as I said earlier, I'm not trying to force my opinion down your throats, you can disagree politely. If you are offended in any way, please know that I did not mean it in that sense. Thank you.
