As dawn broke I opened my eyes only to see
Another day of dark depression,
Suicide being a neccesity.
The unbearable pain almost instantly relieved
As I begin to decorate my face,
I start with a ghostly white,
I ignore the screaming voices,
That lives inside my head,
But still small tears form in my eyes,
I wipe the my face smudging the white make up,
I am reminded by the day I thought I’d live forever high.
High on happiness,
But soon I’d come to see,
The demonic embrace,
My life would hold,
The sadness seemingly,
Seeped through my veins,
Too late I realized,
Now this place inside,
That once terrified me,
Is my only hope my only,
Pin needle bed to fall back and rest upon.
Now all that’s left inside is to break myself down,
Only for the simple entertainment of all,
The anorexic bitches, sluts and hore’s,
They like to laugh at me,
Or make fun of me you see,
I am and will always be,
The morbid clown of Galilee.

Oh. This is a sad little poem that you have penned in here.
It sounds like you've had a rough life to live and that it gets you. I think we all have days or times when something happens and it's hard to find a reason to smile. I hope that you felt better after having wrote this. I thought you did a good job of expressing yourself here.

painfully dramatic!
Inflicting humiliation to distract the wound of a wrenched heart...tragic!...love it..i see some mistakes but that piece is too good considering the fact that english is not your native language(as is my case)..anyways let me quickly suggest you a few changes to be made..
1)its neccesity not necessarity
2)i think its "im reminded of the day" and not "by the day" unless you mean to say that you are represented by the days you were hopeful of the future...
I thoroughly enjoyed reading it
