Better Off...

by Bekka Smekka   Jan 26, 2008


The knife cut hard,
the knife cut deep.
The blood will wash away,
but this scar i will keep.

It'd not because i wanted attention,
it's because i was dying inside.
And all these emotions make me Want to scream,
but instead all i do is run and hide.

My parents try to help,
but the pain is too strong.
Understand that i must do this,
even though it is wrong.

I'm sorry if i have caused you pain,
and committing this deadly sin.
But know that i could not fight,
the depression trapped within.

And as you lay me down to sleep,
remember what I've said.
My life was not worth living,
and I'm better off as dead.

    It'd not because i wanted attention, <--believe you meant it's

    Great poem, the emotions are one of the key elements in writing a good sad poem to make the reader get into it, cutting is a serious but touching subject and many can connect to it, as can I, great work good flow, keep it up.

    This is really really good. even for a subject that i hate deeply. it is great. however cutting, not so much. i know i sound like one of those stupid ppl that don't "know" anything but seriously. if it helped so well would u keep having to do it. if it was REAL help. wouldn't u feel better for a while?
    thanks for the somments. I really apretiate them. and i do a kinda 1 for one thing btw. so feel free to comment. :]
