This one is for everyone
who's had a hard time in this life
who cannot seem to find their way
without using the knife.
This one's for the little girl
who didn't want to play your game
she hated that you touched her
now all she has is shame.
This one's for the boy
whose father gets so mad
All he can do is hope
Today won't be as bad.
This one's for the girl
whose father left her for a gun
she was the one that found him
and her whole life came undone.
This one is for anyone
who's been the fat kid in the class
who has hated their reflection
when they look into the glass.
This one's for the boy
who's parents separated
their hate for each other blinds them to
the child they created
This one's for the girl
who had her "first time" forced on her
he pulled a gun and she laid down
her innocence taken in a blur.
This one's for the boy
who wishes for the past
for the girl that he first loved.
he thought that it would last.
This one's for the girl
who thought pills would ease her pain
with each one that she swallowed,
peace, she would obtain.
This one's for the girl
her mother's words are cruel
she says she's fat, she makes her cry
her diet is now the rule
This one's for the woman
who tries hard to conceive
but after one more miscarriage
all she can do is grieve.
This one's for the girl
who's mother gets around
at night she listens through the walls
to the awful sound
This one's for the boy
who doesn't go to class
he's sixteen and a dropout
there's no way he could pass.
This one's for the girl
who couldn't seem to eat
she went for days without food
with herself, she did compete.
This one's for the girl
who gave it all to the wrong guy
he took her body and her heart
but then he said goodbye
This one is for anyone
who's had trouble getting by
who cannot seem to pay the bills
when money's in short supply.
This one's for the boy
who faces the regret
someday he'll see he lost the girl
he never will forget.
This one is for anyone
who's ever felt alone
they cry at night when no one hears
their pain is never shown.
This one is for everyone
who's had troubles in this life
just know that there are others
who feel and share your strife.

I feel this so much. It is very real and although tough to read, it's very important. The line:
"This one's for the girl
who's mother gets around
at night she listens through the walls
to the awful sound"
It makes me see that girl, and feel her pain.
Very Good.

This is absolutely amazing...something literally everyone can relate to. Not only that, but it's very well written, and it really flows well. This is one of my favorite poems on this site so far. Good job! I look forward to reading more.

What a totally giving piece of poetry,offering up thoughts for everybody and it's a pity everyone cannot feel the same,recently two poets here shocked me by savage comments re emo teenagers and yet below I see another wearing the self appointed crown of judgement.I do not advocate anyone using cutting as a way of addressing their emotional needs but I understand what drives them to such deeds and these teenagers need a help and not more abuse openly levied at them.Sadly some stories that I know to be true stories of reasons why young cutters cut are too graphic to place on a page when the write is not in the adult category.I wish more in the world could sympathize and empathize like yourself and for that here are three yellow happy clappy cheerful men!

Awesome
This has touched my soul on so many levels, its wonderfully written and doesn't go into any unnessary detailing. Most of it will ring a bell in somebodies mind if they are truthful to themselves.
Thank you

I am going to have to disagree with the comment below me. I personally did not like this. I think that the people who turn to a knife because of hard times are cowards. WE ALL GO THROUGH PAIN IN OUR LIVES! And it's how you deal with that pain that defines and shapes you as a person. Besidse, most of these people you talk about who turn to a knife, they are mostly ignorant little teenagers starving for some pity attention. It's pathetic. Ugh. Life is hard, for all of us, in one way or another we have all seen darkness... and as I said before, it's how you deal with it that defines you.

Of course we all have pain in our lives. I'm not denying this. The culmination of this piece shows that "There are others who share your strife"; This is to say that people aren't alone, no matter how they might feel.

i do love this. you had me hooked from the first quatrain "who cannot seem to find their way without using the knife" how very emotionally gripping!
it shook me, this poem. i really appreciated the read

I fucking LOVE this one.
You made very good points.
some of them reached close to home.
And holy hell. I'm giving you points.
To put this up, in the "Get More Reads" section.
This deserves to be read.
My favorite one from you.
Seriously.
