Sleeping to Never Awaken

by robin milford   Dec 2, 2006


People laugh at me
when I cut.
They don't realize
I am trying to escape and failing.
They see the scars on my wrist
I don't bother hiding them.
When someone takes my attempts serious, They put me in a padded room and prescribe all kinds of pills. After a short stay
they send me home with my pills.
Here I am with all those pills.
I'll swallow handfuls
then I'll have my escape.
I'll go to sleep to never awaken again.

    This was so sad, I have tears in my eyes.
    This was beautifully written, refreshing and brutally honest.
    You did a great job on such a hard topic to write about.

    I agree with Melissa, its hard to find a beat with this poem but with me it's really important what the last lines say and the last to lines in this poem were amazing.

    Its good to get your emotions out, but as for the poem alone, its hard to find a beat...no need to ryhmn but maybe some more length..i'm not sure but its missing someting...keep your head up and I am here to talk if you ever need to..

    You have something to say that a lot of people don't like to hear about. Your pain is so deep. Ii have someone in my family that is in this place. I feel the pain of this.
