She's Dying

Can't you see she's dying? With every tear she cries. Her dad, he yells and hurts. Her mom cries and yells too. So she stopped talking to her dad, He made her hurt. And she became distant with her mom, She made her worse. The pain rose inside her, Drowning her. She let it out, One crimson red line at a time. She was dying on the inside, But nobody could see. One day she stopped eating, Maybe a bite or two a day. It made more room for sadness, Filling her up each day. Here's the girl: Gray eyes, bright smile. Good grades, perfect A's. Everybody's friend. Here's the twist: Dark circles, many scars. Crimson cuts, cracked lips. She was so mean. Some days she thought of suicide, Some days she tried. Her old friends say "Why?" She'd say the girl you were friends with has died. So who is this girl? This girl is me.

Sherry, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
