Deep In The Woods

by Jenni Marie   Oct 12, 2006


People say things to her
She feels her life isn't fair
She stares in the mirror wishing she was free
and wondering 'why oh why does no one like me?'

Every day she smiles her fake smile
Knowing that people are full of guile
Wishing that this living hell would end
and praying she could truly call someone a friend.

Her hopes and dreams,
will never be a reality it seems
It seems that every day she will weep
her fake smile straining the muscles in her cheeks.

One day she can't take it any more
She's nervous as she lies in a heap upon the floor
But now she's made up her mind
All that remains is a place to find.

She takes off without a single word
Feeling even if she spoke she wouldn't be heard
A special place she did indeed find
She can't wait to have peace of mind.

Her place is deep in the woods
She knows this is where she will spill her blood
And as she takes the knife to her throat
She coughs and splutters, begins to choke.

Blood drips, drips all around
it'll be a long time before she is found.

Her parents wonder where she has gone
As she lies there on the floor
They don't know that in the woods
is the body of the girl who just couldn't take no more.

    Aww! That is a sad poem! I commend your ability to keep me interested throughout the poem, which a ton of my poems can't even do. As always, i hope that this isn't true, for then the meaning would be even more gut-wrenching. Great write, keep it up!

    Wow... This poem was really sad. I hope it wasn't based on true events. :]

    Your rhyming was good. I used to always do the aabb scheme, but I decided to try other stuff. Your flow was alright in this, if you wanted to, you could comb through the poem for some unneeded words. But that's up to you.

    Keep it up!!

    Wow. Another great poem. I can definately relate to this poem. It's like you have friends, but their all fake. Everything seems fake, and soon you become fake. Smiling just because you have to...it sucks. I've written a couple of poems on this topic as well; haven't posted them up yet, but I think I shall...someday lol.

    Anyways, so this poem was beautiful. Full of emotion and nice imagery. Keep it up!

    5/5
