Defense!

Although i agree with everyone's post about "the love song..." it's depressing, meek, and well...tedious. but i feel like we're all ganging up on elliot. think about some of the other people who write depressing poems, in today's culture they sound something like "save me from the nothing i've become" by evanescence or "scars" by papa roach. at least this peom is thoughtful and he deeply is involved in his feelings, and not cutting or hurting himself like we do in today's society. so this really isn't that bad in all that. and also, who doesn't over analyze themselves and their appearence. we spend too long in front of mirrors and we hardly find something we like. maybe this was one of his moments (or apparently a long stretch of moments) where he was feeling a little down about himself. so back off! haha just kidding.
my question is from waste land. why is april the cruellest month, liliacs out of hte dead and all that. generally that is why people like spring is because flowers and life come back and are plentiful and beautiful again from the long death of winter. i think this man is just angry and feels he needs to flex his writing muscle. mauybe i think he's the cruellest person because he's so angry about everything!
