Splattered thoughts against the wall
Praying no one hears the fall
So isolated, afraid to trust
Stabbed through the heart and left in the dust
Screams unheard and blood's still shed
Put the gun against her head
Mask hiding her true face
The whole world becoming wrapped with lace
And once again when the rain begins to pour
Seeping down into her core
Unnoticed, silence wrapped around
Slowly pushing her to the ground
The clock ticks loud as midnight nears
Slowly, they all cower from fears
Lost and hiding in the dark
Another girl cries in the park
Internal flames burning high
Not knowing how to say goodbye
Take one breath and exhale slow
Then wave before you have to go
Duct tape hearts and barbed wire feelings
Slowly now, the skin starts peeling
A tear slips down, leaving a streak,
Pain's beginning to reach it's peak...

I just decided to stop giving a fuck what people think about me for a day and this is what came out. It's been a while since I've posted, but maybe I just need to stop caring more.

this is very emotional, very gripping. You paint some extremely well done images and illicit strong emotions with your words. That said, it's a sad poem that shouts depression/pain in a language that hits too close to home for me as I have two young daughters. Overall, this is very well written.

This is so sad! I really liked the way you worded everything in this piece. I also liked the fact that you decided to make this rhyme, cuz you did it well without causing it to take away from the poem. Awesome job! And I agree, it's not what other ppl with about you, it's what YOU think about yourself!
