Shut Up

by Carmen   Aug 3, 2005


Shut up...
Is that really all you have to say?
I tell you I hate my life,
That I want it to end,
So I turn to the knife.

Shut up...
That's what I get.
I now see the light,
The truth is finally met.

Shut up...
I'm so tired of those words.
Do you really shut me out,
Never want to know... why?
Ugh.. just thinking about it makes me want to shout,
Makes me want to cry.

I say I hate it all,
You tell me to shut up.
Now you'll see what trusting you has done to me,
As you sit and watch me fall.

Shut up...
I'm afraid it doesn't work like that, mom.
A mother's supposed to listen,
Not push her daughter away.
I see the blood now, it glistens..
Flowing..
Growing,
Leaking faster and faster.
The light is fading.

You could have saved me,
I didn't have to die.
Every time I tried to tell you,
This was all you'd cry;
Shut up.

    I am going through a very simialar thing in my life right now. I wouldnt call it a phase because I dont know how long it will last, but anyways I asked my mom for help and she said she didnt want to pay the hospital BILLS! I cut my wrist in front of her and she took the knife and told me to go to my room and put a band aid on it......I feel the motherly love.
