give me back my heart, you treacherous witch
I was in love, you left me in a ditch
all the days, all the nights I've spent with you
a mere delusion, and I had no clue
was dumping me like that part of your plan?
your wound on that boy lives on in the man
I know you forgot me, down to the name
and I hold you dear with a bond of shame
but I wish I could have you in my arms
for one last taste of your devilish charms

>It's just too obvious that there is no God.

Is it true that every second I'm not having sex for the successive 25.5 years of life, I thought it was nothing significant, but otherwise I had spent it on cope instead? Have I actually legitimately failed as a man?

I think out loud sometimes because I feel lonely.

It's been a while since we had a good ol' doomerthread.
Share some doomer poetry and make reccs for doomer short stories and novels.

Recently read Beckett's Malone Dies, I liked it, but found the lack of chapters or breaks aggravating; there were no good places to stop. That said the format lends itself to a treasure trove of aphorisms.

>And gravely I struggled to be grave no more, to live, to invent, I know what I mean. But at each fresh attempt I lost my head, fled to my shadows as to sanctuary, to his lap who can neither live now suffer the sight of others living. I say living without knowing what it is. I tried to live without knowing what I was trying. Perhaps I have lived after all, without knowing.

>have an idea for a book
>lose enthusiasm when I realise that I’m not sure who would want to read it
>want to vomit when I read back my own writing

How do I get over this and actually write a good book people want to read?

I'm writing a novel of a doomer that has mental problems, but in end he gets better. The whole book is about philosophy, theology, literature and mental conditions.

It's quite over isn't it

Anybody else feel anxious about how depressing everything is and how depressed everyone seems to be?

>"edgy" culture has gone from rock&roll (1950s) to suicide ideation culture (see: Lil Peep, Suicide Boys, etc)
>fertility rates plummeting
>opioid epidemic (in the US)
>anti-depressant use common and rising
>home ownership impossible for many
>insecure, low-paid jobs which barely sustain one person
>hostility between the sexes, races, and generations
>suicide rate the highest in two decades
>doxxing now a cultural norm
>incels becoming a cultural norm and rising demographic
>"mental health" crisis getting worse

Any books on this issue?

I've read The Burnout Society, some of Mark Fisher's stuff. Anything fiction or non-fiction would be appreciated.
