What ive become

by ~me~   Nov 28, 2006


I look to the corner, the mirror
my black nail varnish thickly resting
my hand waiting on my cheek
my blue eyes staring into life

normal i look normal
normal life normal feelings
but when you push back the curtain of light what do you see?

not the girl in the mirror
with an innocent life
but a hand scraping away a tear
the never ending silence that circles her arm
that never sees the light, only the knife
the sleepless nights of cutting thinking waiting

for the courage to press down
the courage to end it all

this is what I've become

I've left happiness behind
I've left with yesterday and his memories

    I like the way you write, its individual and conveys a distinct message with other less obvious ones. Very thought provoking and relates to me on all different levels.
