Some suicides are never recorded. I suppose the media thinks some people are more important than others. If Barak Obama was to kill himself, it would be a world-wide dilemma. As president of the United States, this is understandable. But does that necessarily make Obama 'more important' than the average person? What if it was some other celebrity, like Adam Sandler or Paris Hilton…? Exactly one year ago, St. Jimmy committed suicide…
I never knew his full birth name, but he referred to himself as 'St. Jimmy', which was good enough for me. Who was Jimmy to the world? A nobody. Another random person. An outsider. He was a troublemaker to some, a drug-dealer to others. He was a badass, a man-whore, and a high school drop-out. He didn't do anything to please others; he lived by his own set of rules, and managed to get by.
He greeted me with open arms when I wondered the streets, helpless and alone. I got to know him very well. Yes, Jimmy did do bad things, but it's not like he did it for attention or friends. It was just his personality, and I loved him just the way he was. I eventually moved into his apartment and became his roommate. Somewhere along those twisted lines, I fell for him…hard.
St. Jimmy killed himself on October 19th. He 'blew his brains out into the bay', as Whatsername put it. We were the only two people to visit his grave. Jimmy felt like nobody loved him. Whatsername loved him…like a sibling. But I also loved him. Even though we fought and disagreed a lot, and I would never admit to having feelings for another guy, I loved him. When I heard the dreadful news of his death, I felt like a heartless soul. If I could go back in time and confess my love to Jimmy, I would. Maybe I could have prevented his death…Maybe I was the cause…
Nobody cared when St. Jimmy took his life. There was no obituary…no report…nothing. I guess the higher class just saw him as another depressed emo boy who wanted attention. He was much more than that, but nobody else seemed to care.
Some suicides are never recorded…
A/N: I didn't want to put an author's note at the beginning, so here I am. Yeah, this is really short, and it's not even that good…I feel like it's too choppy, or something, I don't really know…
Alright, I know you all LOVE that thing called a disclaimer, so yeahh:
*I do NOT own American Idiot (play, album, song, etc) and the characters don't belong to me. I'm in no way making money from this. It all belongs to Green Day and whoever the directors of the play are…Also the line 'some suicides are never recorded' comes from a poem by Charles Bukowski, and it is not my line.
Alright, thanks…Review? :)
