I sit in my room
With the music turned up full
And I cry and write
Until my head is empty
And my arm is numb.
When I am finished…
My notebook is stained with tears…
My eyes puffy…
My nose running…
And my cheeks marked with mascara.
I seem to feel just a little bit better
Yet my emotional pain still haunts me
And I can still feel that empty space in my heart…
The one that is supposed to be filled with the love of others.
I begin to weep again
I reach towards my desk
But this time I am not looking for my notebook.
It is the razor that I am reaching for.
I move my hand throughout the desk drawer
And feel the cold metal as it meets with my warm fingertips.
I slowly take it out and lift my head.
I bring the blade closer and slice.
The blood pours like Niagara falls out of my wrist.
I smother the cut with my pillow
And cry until I can cry no more.
Is this really what the life of a 15 year old should be?

    Awesome! Once again, another poem that truly captures my attention. This poem is really sad though and it bothers me a bit because its very similar to what i do. Keep writing Sarah. I might have told you once but i'll tell you again, you have great talent and don't let anyone ever tell that your not good at writing. Keep it up!. (I gave it a ""5"":)) Much Love, Leah
