Paper Cuts

by Katlynn   Apr 9, 2006


She's staring at the biggest fear.
the one that she doesn't even tell.
she's afraid to make it fake.
so she makes it real on her wrists.

her favorite place to put something.
the blood is dripping from her arm.
onto her snowy white leg of hers.
she makes everything worst.

then the most possible thing.
she writes a letter to herself.
saying sorry making everything up.
the cuts are painful but relieved.

she cries inside herself.
while she deals with this pain.
while the fear is covered by the rain.
she doesn't know where to go.

what to do so she pretends to be OK.
she makes everything right for now.
she goes to school.
with a smile.

but at home.
she frowns.
and makes a mistake.
she cuts herself.

razor? no.
knife? no.
glass? no.
worst thing in the world.
paper cuts.

she can't take this anymore.
she's an outcast.
in her school in the shame.
so she's going to play this game.

1, 2, 3
4, 5, 6
7, 8 ....

she dies with a gun near her head.
in her hand while blood.
fades away in her head.

    Very sad poem. But believe it or not you have the ability to describe how many may feel. The poem was very well written and this style of poetry is hard (at least for me) to write in.

    Only one thing (and again this is just my opinion) there are a few lines that rhye that end with the same word...in a poem it is nice to use different words at the end of a line to rhyme...although sometimes thia can be very hard to do depending on the sentiment you are trying to get across to your readers. All in all it was very sad but a good write!! I ave a poem similar to this as well....it helps me to write my fdeelings down when i start to fall back into this type of behaviour.
