A gothic's fairytale

by TotaMariee   Oct 10, 2007


Once upon a fairytale
A memory not so distant to me
Broken heart
Shattered dreams
Falling and crashing
Like the leafs of a tree

Its clear in my mind
The first cut was painless
I thought it didn't matter
So I didn't think to confess

The tears, they didn't matter
No one even cared
I locked myself inside my room
I lock myself inside my nightmare

Soon I found it out
The truth about the knife
How it made me feel alive
Like id found a whole new life

Pumping of adrenaline
Bleeding from my skin
Released from this reality
Released from the sadness within

A misunderstood addiction
Was what I had discovered
What I thought would make it go away
Had left me totally smothered

Other kids they noticed it
The cuts and all the scars
They asked me how the got there
Thats when I felt behind bars

What was I supposed to say?
I told another lie
No one else needed no know
Just me, myself, and I

But everyone they guessed it
And right they were as well
Even though id kept my mouth shut
Others they could tell

As time went on, it just got worst
The scars were building up
My mind was over loading
Soon to self destruct

Everything was horrible
Depression was all I knew
Happiness was totally forgotten
All of this, so true

Now look at me, on year on
I feel nothing different
Everything I do is painful
And my mind as totally bent

I wonder when Ill be able
To control myself
To stop the blood from dripping
To stop messing with my health

I don't want to think of suicide
I don't want to die
But not a thing is changing for me
Is it really all a lie?

The days are breezing past me
Everyone pretending
My fairytale continues till the end
But with no happy ending...

    What I liked about this piece was how it told a story. It expresses deep emotion and I think many people can relate to every word of what you have written. The emotion was the best bit about this poem. The poem was also a story. The emotion and the what happens next you get from the story is what made me want to keep reading though it was quite long. To improve your writing I think you should work more on the flow of the poem. Maybe using a strict rhyme scheme? Also I think you should add punctuation to your piece - because the way I read it is probably totally different to how you intend for me to read it. Keep writing.
