Scarlett lies

by Ellie   Nov 7, 2011


Is there something wrong?

I whisper ‘No’

When my life falls apart

I don't it show.

Tell me whats wrong

No, really, I'm fine

You leave it at that

And wait for a better time.

The lies are getting deeper

Like the cuts on my arm

I want to be normal; Happy.

But all I have is my self harm.

I cant take it anymore,

My life is a lie,

Its flooding me with tears,

And now its time for goodbye

Why do I do this?

Put these scars on my skin

Scarlett lines wrap round my wrists

Its time for you to come in

You call an ambulance

and rush over to my bedside

But you cant save me now

For I have already died

    Hey Ellie, let me just say it's a great first poem :D you should have seen mine compared haha, this is very good! I give it 4/5, but to improve it, try giving it a little more structure instead of one big stanza. The way you define your stanzas will give the poem a greater emotion behind it I feel.

    Is this your cry for help? Is this anger? It has the fluidity to be both but I can't really tell with it being a block, but that's just me! I could be totally wrong, and maybe you lay it out like this just so it can be open to interpretation :)

    Well done! :D
