There's a girl in my drama class,
Who sits at the back
With a razor blade
And keeps her sleeves tugged down.

There's a girl I used to know,
Who smokes weed
On the school fields
Where we used to play jump rope.

There's a girl sitting with us at lunch,
Who throws up
After her apple
And after her sandwiches and after her biscuit.


Come on God, do I seem bulletproof?

Courtney- Normally I like your poetry, and this is not really any exception, except that it doesn't quite seem... I don't know... finished.
So what is it that pulls these girls together in your mind? Are these good things, bad things, just... things?
Maybe just one more stanza.

Other than that, I like the way the words flow, and the weay you putm them together.

I'm drowning, choking
   Falling deeper into this
   Black hole we call living
...Fates Warning

hey babe

love how the third stanza's list really adds to it.

reading it a second time i can see it with a fourth stanza, so try work on it if you feel up to it.

its a great piece of writing

heart you

nirvana means freedom from pain, suffering and the external world.

this is really good so far but it definatly needs another verse to tie it together!

I have problems finishing my poetry sometimes...hope you can finish this!

i'm going to go the opposite route and say it's fine as is, the abrupt ending adds to the disturbing realities the reader is exposed to here.

I dont normally reply to what i read here. At least since i decided that i didnt really have anything to add. But this is a very good beginning to what could end up being a long poem. just from reading it i wish to continue it. but it isnt mine so i cant. please continue with this i would like to see where it goes.

"Love struk my heart and it fell from the sky. I wish I wish it not to die. And if it goes and your to late I wish I wish you not to hate."

I haven't had much time to work on it, but now I do, so I might add a verse or too. It's just a matter of not ruining what I've already got.
Thank you for all the replies.

I loved this poem

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

yeah i agree with a fourth stanza.
but at the same time. omg. the scary reality of it, just wells my eyes up with tears.

I am a wilted black rose. Searching for cracks of sunlight, to nurture me. And to help me grow.
