a girl died today
she left without looking back
dont expect to see her long hair
or her bright smile
or her deep thoughtful eyes
or her thin body
she was so lonely
but surrounded by people
she was so messed up
but had all the help she needed
she was wonderful and loved
but looked right through it
all she cared about
was the the three years of hell
she went through
and the thought of more to come
"not worth the risk"
she wrote
"and im not needed here"
But you are needed!
they scream through bitter tears
I can't do it without you
they yell
yelling and screaming and sobbing on their knees
but she doesn't notice them
she notices the people at the back of the church
all those who hassled her
who looked down on her
who laughed and made those years hell for her
the looks of regret and nervousness
wringing their hands and straightening their skirts
she chuckles to herself
satisfied

and i want to be that girl so bad
i want to be the one who died today

wow.
OH MY GOD . FLUCK .
that, was..... omg... that was....
sophie, amazing. OMG

really good way of putting the last week into words... you did it so well.

Everything about that poem, was so real, so true to what is most probably happening. if there is an after life, that is exactly what she would be seeing right now.

LOVED IT TOO MUCH

Kirsty.

good write it was powerful, a little melodrmatic but powerful, nicley done

Awake through motion with curiosity to curtain your first move
Over arms length they'll break protocol
Jealous envy for the youngest one

I'm sorry, I haven't replied yet. But I was in such a state of shock I was speechless, and every reply I started sounded so juvenile and useless. Sigh. Even this is useless, but I'm doing it because, I am. There. You're beautiful. Did that boost your self-esteem? I hope so.

Luv,

"Daybreak, I feel so alone;
Why don't you come to stay?
I let her walk away,
I should have said don't go,
I know I should have found another way...
Now I don't know what to do...
So, Daybreak, please...
Break through..."

If you were that girl, darkness, they'd be someone...and even if it were but one someone, who'd be sadly singing these lines as they cried.

And yet, I feel...
Such a cause for pause, this poem so grand.

Wings bruised from turning away in such confined space...Not broken...still healable...still feathered with life, somewhere

still hearing those screams through bitter tears...
you are amazing. i just did this photo shoot where the photographer wanted to capture actors "in character"... crying. i used this poem as my inspiration, and she says she got a phenominal shot.

sad, huh?

love, always no matter what

i'll always need a friend, one i can defend.

But if she can cry for those back of the church folks,
she has learned a lesson worth saving her life.
Sometimes the stained glass windows are too pious
to see through.
Yet, she saw, didn't she?

I love you, darkness.
I love your poetic vision.
I expect in your next write a plot twist,
where "the girl" out-lived them all!

"So give life to your dreams, for there lies your survival, and cast your heart beyond those faded scenes, and I'll bring you through the storm"
