Heaven Above

by Jenni Marie   Jul 14, 2006


She stares at herself in the mirror
Disgusted at what she sees
She turns her eyes away
just wanting to be freed.

She stares at the razor
thoughts running through her head
She makes one cut then two,
wishing that she was dead.

She glares at her reflection
tears wetting her face
she wishes she was perfection
she wishes people would get off her case.

She stares at the blood on her arms
drip drip it goes on the floor
She's engulfed in pain
Bad in essence and bad at her core.

She wonders if the pain will ever end
and if her heart will ever truly mend.

She makes another cut
this time it's deep
she closes her eyes
as she starts to weep

She slides to the floor
and takes the razor to her wrists
She slides it down
the tears have a made a mist.

And as she fades to heaven above
She's finally found a place where she is loved.

    As I read, I wonder, I know life is painful and many opt for a way out.
    But, what about making a difference in someone elses life. Instead of suffering and leaving a legacy of death. Leave a legacy of life, compassion and love. People need to see and know they can make it through when it happens to them.
    Great write, again your expression makes me wonder, is this you in need or just another touching write.

    Now this one is so very sad. :-( Still a lovely job, but perhaps a happy poem would make for cute change. :-P
