Cries herself to sleep

by StandStill   Apr 26, 2008


Cries herself to sleep
just another night
keeps telling herself over and over
"It's going to be alright"

But each tear that rolls down her face
reminds her that she's not fine
I don't know why she's crying
why she repeats the same old line

All she needs is a simple thank you
or a reminder of job well done
or just a simple hug
from a friend..just one...

She's so horribley young
she shouldn't feel this way
but crying herself to sleep
she feels like everyone went away

Somebody, please tell her
she needs to know what the point is
at some time she changed inside
but this was the time she missed

Tears are thundering all around
heartbeat in her head
screaming in this silence
she'd rather be dead

Now she's drifting away
lullaby tears in her eyes
wondering, will anyone save me?
no..nobody knows why she cries

    A fairly good description of depression told through the eyes of another but you can see it through hers too almost showing both sides.
    Well done on the brilliant rhythm you've given this its made the story very vivid in its imagery in these words.
    5/5

    This is an awesome poem. I've been going through some rough times recently and your poem really hits home for me. Keep up the excellent work, and I'll look forward to reading your other poetry in the future. 5/5 of course, although I'd give you 10 out of 5 if i could.

    Take care,
    Crystal
