She wanted to cut herself today She just wants all the pain to fade away Every tear? She's so sick of crying Every smile? Holds the truth to what she's hiding Never believe the words "I'm okay" In reality they always mean "Help, I want you to stay" Admitting that fact - Far from none Coping with the pain, a battle never to be won Fear for the life held within her hands Wishing one day, someone would understand To withstand a pain so gratifying There's nothing else to do but wait, never satisfying Wait until those fears become hope Wait until tears become happiness However in the end isn't that what we always do? Wait for a solution rather than being the solution? At times it seems so much easier to give up To just look away & say you've had enough Yet when will it be enough as another life is lost? How much more blood is to be shed, what is the cost? Days get quiet and the nights get cold As the truth in her eyes starts to unfold The rumors, the whispers, the talk of getting help All voices she hears are of everyone else The more time alone, means more time apart As she's already been roaming with a shattered heart Agony arises as protection starts to fall Who will be there, when it doesn't just destroy her, it destroys us all Voices become reality, as reality becomes pain She just wants it to be over, the never ending game The breathing that lacks every inch of motivation The pain that takes over, having every dedication The smell, the look, the indulgence, the taste To go in, then come out, feels like such a waste To have everything, then nothing at all To see one rise, then gradually fall A heart beats steadily in moments at hand Once again wishing, someone would understand Not to be afraid of the things that they see To instead look inside, feel what they believe Judgment that's passed to quickly among others Never given the chance, even when beside brothers To visit the stones that's now our mark upon land If only things were different, that someone would understand As days go by and several still cry Will truth ever be spoken or are we to sit among lies If only to hear I love you & for someone to take a hand Maybe, just maybe, for one day finally someone would understand Instead of waiting until the very last moment Look inside & ask why you chose it The words that were said, The hands that were touched Never realizing until there gone, how you miss them so much For every last moment wishing you were there Any last moment, just to tell them that you cared As she fades away, not knowing if she can To close her eyes a final time, hoping someone would understand Words left unspoken, memories that remain If only to go back to yesterday, where they would've been the same The tears that fall upon her hands Buried beneath it all, hoping one day still, Someone Would Understand Kate |

I think I would understand, Kate! Waiting and ignorance is the most unbearable combination. At least it's hard. And I thought sometimes to give up, but one idea stopped me: I imagined that perhaps in the next life I will have to start from the same ignorance and I wasn't pleased by it. To repeat everything till today - it's too much even for me, although I'm rather patient. |

This is an excellent capture of that dark road that leads to an early exit. Found myself nodding. Lori  |

Thank you Lori & Jimmy, I'm glad you both enjoyed! When people can understand or even more important relate to my poems, that gives me more inspiration to write even more! I enjoy writing, been doing it for over a decade now, its 1 of the few ways for me to express myself without any hesitation! Kate |
