She doesn't understand

by Leah   Dec 2, 2005


She couldn't understand it
she didn't get it at all
all the girls with self
inflicted wounds
she would recall.

why would they cry?
why would they run
why did they want to die
from a life that had only begun

she couldn't feel their pain
she really didn't want to
she couldn't even imagine
exactly what they were going through

her life had just been perfect
so completely perfect and secure
she never felt the pain
that every day these girls would
edure.

she wanted to understand
she wanted to truly see
was death the only way
that all these girls could feel free?

one day she finally tried it
no one told her to beware
cut after cut
it made her every tear disapear.

    Ohh my gosh. I can't believe you wrote that poem. That poem is so meaningful. I really like it. I have never actually cut, but in some poems people write, you can feel it, and it looks like you could feel what you were writing!...thats good.
