Losing Control of Life

Moved to Nene house thought it was a nice place At first it all seemed kind of great Got along with people Turns out they were snakes Smoked bud, sniffed crack Lost control of life Shagged boys, got drunk Totally changed my life As I walked along the corridors the rumours went around ‘Fat ***** fat cow’ I starved myself wouldn’t let food stay down. Couldn’t cope no more wouldn’t let food stay down Ran away put staff through so much stress but my story doesn’t end yet you haven’t heard the rest I was lost and had nobody put my mind to the test Yh you haven’t heard the rest Got messages saying I should die By this point I had enough of my life So I went into my bedroom locked the door Got hold of all these tablets took loads and took some more It was an overdose, didn’t tell anyone No one noticed till the morning Didn’t realise what I’d done Saw that look in staffs eyes the look I can’t forget Then mind fills with emotion then regret They were scared shocked and didn’t want to do So they phoned an ambulance didn’t wanna tell the truth Things didn’t change; I would still smoke drugs to numb that pain But this was my fight and I weren’t going to lose And I’ve learnt to ignore those who will disapprove Don’t judge a book by its cover You don’t know what you’ll find I’m Daisy Tyrrell and this story is mine So RIP to the angels who took their own lives. Keep on fighting cos every cloud has a silver lining gotta be strong be a soldier and forget what those bullies told youm

It s a really beautiful written poem and you re a really nice poet, you see never ever let anybody hurt you, always remember you are best, everyone os beautiful in their own way, and besides who is someone to judge anyone whwn that person himself isn t perfect, I have a speech impediment, so I was bullied ( still people laugh at me) crying, depressiln really common until I changed myself, I recently turned 16, and I m happy, also a new poet like you, people will speak, just ignore, good luck

this is a true story, *nene house is a care home* so if anybody wants advice or help, i will pull you through those tough times, don't be afraid, as by holding your feelings inside it just isolates you, breaking relationships until you are left alone not wanting to be alive x
