Now She Can Live

by iFallToPieces   Jul 14, 2009


She feels so alone, with no one to hold,
She hides all her thoughts, pretends to be bold.
No one knows, how she feels each night.
No one knows, she's so close to losing this fight.

She sits alone, in her little room,
With the blade in her hand, ready to erase all her gloom.
The scars can't be seen, she tries her best to hide.
No one ever knows, how she's really feeling inside.

She feels confused, why do they treat her like dirt?
She doesn't understand, why she's always getting hurt.
No matter what she does, no matter how hard she tries,
She always seems to fall and believe all their lies.

She can't seem to understand, what has she done?
She thought it was worth it, but this hasn't been fun.
She has thoughts of ending, her messed up life,
But how would they feel, knowing she had turned to the knife?

She feels like suicide, is the only escape,
How can she explain, that around her a black cloud has begun to drape.
She's lost in this world, with nothing to do but let go,
How can she hold on, when she lost herself so long ago.

She can't explain, why she feels this way,
All she knows is, so can no longer stay.
She hates herself, pure destruction at risk,
So why not end it before someone notices the scars upon her wrists.

Self-hatred has come over, no longer can she pretend,
How can she love herself, when all she wants is the end?
She doesn't know why, there's no way to explain,
What could cause someone to hate themselves, and want to cause themselves more pain?

There's a puzzle in her head, she's too afraid to admit,
If she puts the pieces back together, will she realize that this is it?
Could depression be the reason? That this black cloud has started to follow,
Made her feel so worthless, so destructive and so hollow?

No one will understand, for she has decided to take the fall,
She finally ended her life, she decided to take it all.
She decided this was it, no longer could she be,
Finally now she can live happily.

    An intense and emotional piece! loved it. it's very relateable.. a lot of teenagers feel this way, and suicide is common. [sadly] My favorite stanza is about the puzzle. Putting an object in there to explain thoughts and feelings is a good way to make people really think. =] the only thing you might want to do is spell check it...[ not to pick at your poem... it's just that i'd want somebody to tell me.] Magnificent job! 5/5 =]

    Far out. Thats so amazing. Honestly, the rhyme scheme was perfect, not forced at all, the flow worked well and your choice of wording was so descriptive and powerful, it all made up a wonderful write. Very intense and emotional piece. You ended it perfectly with your last stanza, really wraps it up well, although it is very sad. Great write. 5/5
