Girl, let me help you

by Mona   Oct 15, 2005


We looked up to the stars,
Worried you asked me: will it heal the scars?
My girl, my girl, what shall I say?
Let's hope it will go away.

You rambled and cried,
Telling me about your endless fight,
You asked me if I ever felt so insecure,
And if I did, do I know the cure?

My girl, my girl what shall I say,
I don't know a cure but it will go away,
You got mad and said: you do not understand!
I said: shhh come just take my hand.

Furious you said: you have never seen pain!
You don't know what it's like to go insane,
To drown in your tears and never get up,
To make your way back to the top.

My girl, my girl, what makes you think,
That I don't know what it feels like to sink,
Does it matter if I would tell you I do know?
What matters is that it is time for you to grow.

You kept on climbing that mountain,
Up and up to make your way to the top,
When you made it to the top you felt pain,
It was the wrong mountain you climbed up.

So you fell down and sank into the ground,
You lost motivation and blamed yourself for it,
You cried so often you must have lost count,
Nothing you did, stare, stand, lay and sit.

You wonder why you are not getting,
back on the tracks of life so you can live again ?
No matter what I say it won't change a thing,
I will say it anyway though I know there's nothing to gain.

You are afraid to live, afraid to die,
You cut yourself just to feel you are alive,
You sleep as much as you can so time will pass you by,
Afraid to hold or drop that knife.

Shed some more tears and blood,
I will always be here for you so tell me,
Was it not your wrist you tried to cut?
You thought that would set you free?

Oh my girl, my girl, did I make you cry?
I am sorry I never meant to hurt you,
Just promise me not to end your life and die,
It is ok it hurts me too.

I will show you the beauty of life,
Just let me try and give me some time,
Forever and now, drop that knife,
I hope you will find yourself in time.

Until then I will be here for you,
Until then I will hold you tight,
I will give whatever it takes to pull you through,
I won't ever give up the fight.

    Wow,
    Mona, >.< THIS is my favourite poem too!!! wow. I do a lot of things for other people. One of my favourite things to do is help anyone when they desperately need it. I have had many people who come to me and want to know what is left in the world for them. So hard to show them yet so easy to tell them. Many times i have had people say. "how do you know?!" or "you don't understand!!" But, if you truely feel what that person is trying to MAKE you feel, seriosuly you do begin to understand. A lot of people in this world cut, and most of them wont pull through. But with people like you and i who give up so much time for them, so much time to talk to them and let them know there are people who care...who knows? maybe the number will drop...Amazing poem. I loved it so so much. You are an amazing person with so much to give. But always remember, leave time for yourself too

    I really like this poem. It shows how unreasonible cutters (me) can sound sometime. You seem like such a wonderful friend to thing cutting girl and I wish I could tell you someway to help. My only suggestion is for you to do what my friend did to me. So sat me down one night and asked me, what happens when I got too deep? I said I hadn't yet, and then she said this is what will happen. If you are lucky I will find you before you die, and then I will call the hospital crying all the way, begging you not to die. We will get there and I will stay with you, except for the stitches because I can't handle that. During all that me, your other friends and your family will cry, pray all the while that you don't die. Everyone will know what you are, it won't be you dark little secret anymore. If you are still living then they will put you on suicide watch and you will stay in the hospital for a long time and most likely be sent to a phyco home. She said she would come visit me on weekends if she was allowed. And yeah . . . that really hurt me to hear her say that, because it as so honest and true and the part of cutting I don't think about. She told me that after I tried to kill myself for the 8th time and yeah. I haven't cut since and but have been enjoying MAJOR withdrawl. So that is all I got, just try to tell your friend that story and see what she says because I know when my best friend did that it changed my life forever. I love you hun and you are an amazing friend, don't give up yet sweetie, please not yet.
