I was so sad after school that day,
For many weeks i watched my life slip away.
I couldnt take my friends,
My Family,
Or myself even.
I was so lonely and sad,
And those are the reasons.
I acted fine in school,
I wore a big smile.
Hoping no one would notice,
Whats been going on with me for a while.
Everyday i'd go home and cry.
Wanting to be alone,
I didnt know why.
Everything that use to be wonderful,
was no longer that anymore.
I spent all my time in my room,
Behind closed doors.
I wanted things the way they use to be,
Back when i was glad,
To have the friends that i do,
And wasnt so sad.
I've never felt such hate before,
as the way i hate me.
Everything else in my life,
Made me unhappy.
I couldnt take it anymore,
My tears had run dry.
I saw a sharp scissor on my desk,
And yet again asked myself why.
Why am i like this?
When did this start?
Why cant i be happy?
What happened to my heart?
I picked up this scissor,
Sure for me there's no hope.
Put it to my wrist,
Felt a tightening in my throat.
I was tired of being lonely,
About no one did i care.
I know it sounds selfish,
But my heart just wasnt there.
I pressed the scissor in my skin,
waiting to get the strength.
To put an end to my misery...
The phone rang,
It was my friends who called to say hi,
And to say they missed me,
And of course i wondered why.
Then i thought that if this person truely cares,
Leaving the world this way,
Wouldnt be fair.
I'd hold out a little longer.
For i have friends who care.

Wow...this really had my attention.  This is a great poem, it flowed well and tells your feelings wonderfully.  Did this really happen?  If so, I'm glad you realize now that there are people who care and there are things worth living for.  This is an awesome poem.

POWERFUL POEM..your emotions just SEEP out of here,I can't say much more then EXCELLENT!! Keep trying to be happy, even when it's hrd, have faith with yourself, because it will be you and you only that gets through this world.

"Controlling my feelings for too long....
And forcing our darkest souls to unfold...
And pushing us into self-destruction...."
