The Irony of Poetry

I am tired and I forgot how to write poetry.
When I used to be lonely I’d confide with my pen
I don’t remember how anymore.  I feel worse.
It’s like a piece of me is dead.
I almost wish I was dead.  Being alive is to suffer.
In my life, world, I can only hope that some one
Is a hero and saves me before I remove myself
From safety.  Life.  I forgot what life is.
Life challenges me and torments me,
The challenge being harder when I don’t feel like
Competing.  I never feel like competing.  
I will drown soon and no longer even be a memory.
Why couldn’t I forget how to remember?
It’s ironic.  Irony leads to suffering.
