Greetings, and welcome to writing.com *Hug1**Smile**Hug2*

I honestly couldn't help chuckling a little when I read this through. It's definitely a spark of creativity or even gallows humor to speculate that you'll only finally be useful as decompositioned molecules blending back to earth, feeding the myriad tiny ants and beetles and ultimately the flowers and trees. Yes, a vent, a rant, an outburst cast into a safe space with additional safeguards attached, such as your deliberate choice of three totally unrelated genres, and a plea that it never reaches the eyes of those who hold the power.

Seriously, though, I'm obligated to remind you to reach out to real, physical human beings if you need help. We're not here to be your therapists, and I hope that whatever darkness you're experiencing isn't causing you to actively consider taking your life. You have infinite potential to overcome, to grow and thrive and create and share and bond. It's hard for me to separate the poetic license from the soul behind it, so forgive me if I'm taking it too seriously.

As a piece of literary writing, you can provide a more standard safeguard for your item by giving the title a Non-E rating (you could call it something like "stupid trash poem" if you want to take advantage of the titular latitude provided by that rating...) This will prevent it appearing for most audiences. You can then give the entire item an 18+ rating, which will eliminate anyone who has their ratings blocker on (minors, including yourself *Wink*) and ensure you don't get scolded by a Mod for mentioning suicidal thoughts. Perhaps the subtitle could say "a brief existential crisis..." to give a hint as to content.

With those things taken care of, you can then allow yourself to choose three genres that approximate the subject matter: Personal, Experience, Drama, Melodrama, Emotional, Gothic, Dark, Death, Philosophy, Teen, Adult, Self Help, etc. You can also play with fonts, sizing and styling to make it look more appealing on the page and less like we picked up a soggy scrap of your notebook from the gutter... Unless that's the look you're going for *BigSmile*

Take care, thanks for sharing, and keep writing *WingL**Heartv**WingR*
