A girl
More like a child
Stands poised
Ready to run
But she can't be sure
She's headed in the right direction
Her eyes are fine
Not like shes blind
But its dark inside
Shes crying
More softly now
It just helps them find her quicker
They go by sent
And shes still losing blood
Shes broken
Afraid
Alone
Unwanted
Still trying to find her way
But its dark inside
Shes cold
No shoes on
Only rags to keep her warm
And the dread that fills her
Brings her further into the cold
Leaves her shivering
Leaves her withering on the floor
Its dark inside
A girl
More like a child
Is ready to let go
But deep inside
Somewhere
She knows
That if she waits
Just a little longer
She could make it
She could
Theres a chance
But its dark inside
Her bodys druised and battered
And she wants to sleep
But her wary eyes
Always shows shes awake
She might be far away
But shes there
Its dark inside
Too dark....

As I look at this world and realize that I am the only one to have seen the end of all Good I let the tears out that and ask the world to see them.

You said it for me.

Nice job.  I like the abstractness of this poem.  There are a few spelling mistkakes and grammatical errors.  

"But her wary eyes
Always shows shes awake"

This is a good example.  "But her weary eyes / Always show she's awake"

Any idiot can see that the result is true.

This was really good. Very descriptive, well done.

The poem is great.  Its what you feel.  Real poetry.  Its not like you planned it out.  You just said it.  Thats cool.
Maybe I have a hard time trusting girls, but maybe it would be a cool idea to step back for a while and see what happens.  Like just accept whatever is going on and let it flow for a while.  God bless.

This too is dark and truthful...but if you are able to escape from your pain by writing...that's all I ask...an escape from the world that constricts you!

Very beautiful poem...probably one of my favorites from you...
