Stained

see me shatter
see me in pain
while I let my blood flow
down the drain
you've hurt me in ways
I cannot explain
while my wounds heal
I try not to squeal
at the wincing pain

all you've ever done
is make things worse
you are like an endless curse
my heart bleeds for things to repair
but it wont happen, I'm driven to despair
as I walk outside I see the sun
it weakens me with its blinding rays
I see one last glance of the mindless gaze

as I fall to my soon to be grave
I land on a patch of soft green grass
now I leave my mark on sanity
leaving the grass stained with my humanity.

    Hm. I'm kind of confused on what kind of form this poem is. It's half rhyme and half free verse. But anyway, good job and thank youfor entering. ~chelsey

    great write, i love the emotion! the "heal, squeal" rhyme in the first stanza is a little forced, and there are a couple minor grammatical errors, but overall excellent job!

        really all it is is not having"I" capitalized and missing the apostrophe in "I'm" in the fifth line of the second stanza, nothing major. I'm just kind of picky about that type of thing
