There she is
just another day
different place, different time,
same suicidal thoughts haunting her troubled mind.
The twinkle is gone from her eyes
but she still sees
the warmth in her laugh is lost in the depression
but she still wears a grim smile.
so bitter its sweet
she talks constantly
but the only true words flow from her pen
She potrays the sad beauty
of someone who gave her heart,
only to have it shredded before thrown across the room
and then had to try and pick up the pieces
but couldnt find them all
never to be whole again.
She is perfectly unperfect
she's gets stabbed almost to death everyday
with people lunging knife, after knife in her back.
But she only bleeds from her wrist
she hides in the darkness
guarded by walls of music
powered by the poems she writes
walks into school
voices running through her ears
vicious comments echo in her head
she is in a sea of people
but she has never felt so alone.

This is a great write with such a great title. The lines "people lunging knife, after knife in her back. But she only bleeds from her wrist", wow, that is so deep. it is so sad when we are in the company of so many people, but we feel so alone. I totally relate to this, well done and thank you for entering my contest.

I completely relate to this, especially today. People just keep finding a way to stab me. When I think no one can hurt me, they still manage to do it, and then they never get to see or know the trouble they have caused.
