Tragedy in Reality

Tragic novels are fun
   not until you became its protagonist
   not until you felt its pain firsthand
   not until death was more than
   just the I-cannot-breathe
   not until it knocks you down
   not until its beam makes you weep
   not until it makes you numb
   with cuts that will forever bleed
Indeed, tragedy is fun
   not until you felt the tears
   yet not for another's heartbreak
   but, for yours and more agonizing
