blood seeps from within
nobody knows the pain i'm in
close the door, lock it tight
no one but me in here tonight
watch the blood run down my arm
i cut again, causing harm
tears begin to flood my face
sadness begins to take their place
it wouldn't have to be like this
i wouldn't have to feel like shit
if i wouldn't have ever gone to that house....
there i was, in jeans and a nice blouse
when some guy spiked my drink
i was instantly over the brink
i went to a room to get some sleep
woke up the next morning, and began to weap
for i woke up, naked and sore
my naked male friend, next to me on the floor
i got up to find my clothes torn and ripped
i went to the bathroom, trying not to stumble and trip
i looked in the mirror at my sad face
i had to get out of that horrible place
i called my friend, told her to come and get me
trying to think of an excuse for what she was to see
i wrapped a blanket around myself and went to the door
gathering my tattered clothes off of the floor
i got in the car when my friend arrived
i told her not to ask, and i started to cry
i told her not to tell anybody that she saw me in this state
my heart and my head then began to debate
but i decided not to tell anyone, to keep it all inside
not aware of what it would cost to hide
it's been a few months, i still can't forget
and every day since, i've felt regret
but there's nothing i can do to change the past
i make another cut, and i make it fast
i hate my life, i've become someone i don't wanna be
if i'd just stayed home, i could've always been me
that guy changed me in ways he does not realize
so there's nothing better for me now than to die
i make another cut, the deepest one yet
this wouldn't have happened if i'd been able to forget

words cannot express this piece and give it the dignity that it deserves....very rare is there a piece that renders me speechless....and this is one of them

isn't this an old poem? i think i've read it before? well either way even though i don't like poems like this good write like always!

Useful rhyming scheme. How crappy about the computer thing. I'm sorry to hear this happened to you, what a twisted and sick person he must've been then, really to do that to you... I can understand in a way why you didn't tell anyone, but I'm sure how you wished you did in a way so the weight would be taken off you a bit?

terrifying
like staticegrace said, i hope this isn't something that really happened to you. something like that can and will really tear up one's soul. don't blame yourself if this happened it's not your fault. other than that i love the vocabulary and there's a beautiful flow and rhyme scheme. good job.

I really really hope this isn't based on personal experience. If it is, you SERIOUSLY need to talk to someone about it and confront the person who did this crime.

Heartfelt
