crying all night
screaming all day
just wishing for someone
to take this life away
cutting herself
watching the blood drip down
she wears a tainted smile
as her tears hit the ground
her friends aren't there
when she needs them the most
her parents don't care
that she's cold and lost
her best friend died
right before her eyes
and nobody does hear
her sad silent cries
she wishes for help
she prays for hope
the next day comes
and she tries to cope
she wants to be prettier
she wants to be perfect
she doesnt want her life
she doesnt need this shit
she picks up the gun
and puts it to her head
goes to pull the trigger
then wonder if she wants death
she falls to a deep sleep
and sees darkness around
she looks at herself
as they lower her body into the ground
she sees no people
no one at her funeral
she hopes this isn't true
no one can be this cruel
suddenly she wakes
to find herself alone
once again she starts to cry
she's the only one home
she reachs for the blade
and cuts herself deep
hoping this time
she'll fall to an eternal sleep
she puts the blade down
her wrist begins to hurt
she's crying even harder
but still begging for more
she washes the blood away
and watches it flow down the drain
as she thinks to herself
life is just full of pain
she's living in hell
and being abused
being hit and screamed at
because they are amused
being told to die
she doesn't belong here
she knows the truth
but nobody does care
this can't be her life
it isn't what she wanted it to be
as she looks in the mirror
Wait...this is me

wow! this is so good. You actually got me crying. Here I'm sitting, all alone in my room, crying my eyes out. I hope none of this is reality for you, because this girl really does seem to be living in hell. I especially loved the ending lines. So effectful!

I really like it,it was very heart felt and emotional,a good right overall,but I do have a pet peave with people who go on and off with thr rhyming,try to work on it.

wow... i really liked this one.. in the middle i was a little iffy about it because i thought she had died, but you surprised me by following the rules and brought her to be alive.. this was deep... the rhyming was a little off, but the overall detail and write for this poem: amazing.. loved it
