Only way out

by X-Emo-X   Sep 27, 2006


I told him I loved him..
And what did he say?
'I'll never love YOU. You're too damned ugly.'

Am I really that ugly?
Maybe he's right.
Maybe no one will love me.

So I sat in my bathroom.
Razor to wrist.
I scream at myself
'WHY DO I LIVE LIKE THIS?!'
I scream,
I cry,
I live,
I die.
Not yet though.

Razor still at my wrist..
It's straight edged blade gleams.
I stare at the mirror.
And continue my screams.
'I -AM- ugly. I -AM- hideous. I HATE ME!!'
I brush the blade against my skin,
In a quick, swift movement.
I stare at the blood, dripping down.
I smile, even laugh.
And tears streaming down my cheeks, I say:
'I can MAKE myself pretty. I -WILL- be pretty..'

I make art on my arms.
Cackling all the way.
Watching the blood make patterns down my wrists.
I carve the words: 'HELP ME' and laugh again.
Who cares what he said?
I give up on love.
Who would love ME?

I smile, and write in blood on the mirror:
'Am I pretty enough for ya? AM I?!'
I cackle maniacally at myself.
A mixture of emotions.
Crying,
Laughing,
Smiling,
Frowning.
My face makes many expressions.

I grin and go search for a knife.
I can make it to where no one has to deal with me!
I've gone crazy.
What is wrong with me?
Is this my only way out?
It is, I decide.

I hold the knife.
Positioned straight above my heart.
I think of everything that has happened.
All the things I've been through.
It sucks that 95% of it was bad, no?
I smile at myself in the bloody mirror.
The bloody words are now dripping.
I become dizzy.

So I end it before anything can stop me.
'Goodbye, mother. Goodbye friends. Goodbye all that I never knew. Goodbye my life, the hell I once went through!'
It pierces my skin,
Goes in so deep.
It seems I can feel it touch my spine.

Then suddenly,
Darkness.

Farewell, life.

    Wow. This is awesome.

    It seems a little too dramatic at points, but the over all it works in this poem.

    The narrator is obviously going insane from rejection, and the quick downfall she experiences seems completely rational through the narration.
