Grasping for life,
I'm on the edge.
Need an outlet!!!
I want to scream
I want to do something
to let myself know
I'm still alive!
Cause I'm so close
to being dead inside!
I would
beat myself,
cut myself,
or
burn myself.
But those things
take too much energy.
I'll just eat.
And eat.
Until I get fat.
Then I'll just stop.
Eating is too much work
anyways.
I need a job.
And these thoughts
creep up in my mind,
to sell my body.
Its been violated before,
whats it matter now?
If I got money then I could
run far away.
I don't want to stay.
I want to freeze to death
on a street.
My heart has already frozen over.
One day
I'll make it out okay.
But right now
I have no faith.
No money.
No desire to stay.
I'm feeling hopeless.
I'm desperate
for someone,
anyone that lives near me,
to understand.
I'm messed up.
I should not have these thoughts.
I need help.
But for another eight months
I cannot get it.
I'm stuck suffering
in my silence.
Author notes
Its not good. I don't care. But then again, what do I care about now?...

This was great. The flow was choppy but that worked in favour of the poem. A very enjoyable write
The jumping from idea to idea gave a voice of sheer desperation of the writer which was awesome. The language was also great and with the ending of in my silence gave such a final tone. It caused the reader to imagine someone broken who had yelled out this poem but then quietly turned away. An awesome write.

Yes it is good!
Something that really adds to the excitement of it is how short the sentences/lines are. That makes me want to keep reading more and more. Plus, I love how you go from one solution to another so quickly. Normally that doesnt' work, but since you were on one topic (how to escape), it did. Very nice job!
