Knife

by PS   Mar 28, 2006


She watches and watches
and never feels
the happiness and joy
that everyone deals

she is given cards and cards
of hurt and pain
careless words flung
shes no longer sane

they think she's happy
they think she smiles
but under the ropes of restriction
tears never stop flowing
never stop filling empty eyes

those eyes that cry with dry tears
as she walks past hateful faces
there is a knife forever twisting
and turning and tearing her apart

-this was written for a sad poem contest. btw she isnt cutting herself. i know it might seem like that. i hate poems that have to do with cutting.

    I liked this poem, shows alot of emotion, however your comment at the end runied it for me. to me, poems are a way of expressing feelings, which you do very well in other peoms, 'any last wishes' for example. it saddened me to see you degrading poems written about self harm. as often its the best way for that person to let out their emotions. maybe im commenting from an extreme point of view, but to me, my poems are a way to NOT self harm.
    otherwise very good work, i love the way you write.

    I agree with you. Thank goodness this wasn't another "self-harm", I sense a magical theme about the poem and this excites me, I love your use of ambiguity....!!

    Awe so sad :( I loved your rhyming and how nice every word fit together. I also liked how you seem to have such a unique way with words! The third stanza was a bit of the flow... But all around a nice write!
