Cut the Pain Away

Here she goes again 
Cuting away the pain 
We see the scars inflicted in her body
Thinking she's crazy 

We quick to criticize 
Saying she's an emo in disguise 
We call her names 
Saying she's insane 

We fail to see the pain in her eyse
Fail to realize 
The reason why 
She want to die

As the days go by 
The cuts get deeper 
Marks become more server 
And death becomes near

You see her blood 
Flowing like water 
But wouldn't bother to help 
Saying she's a attention seeker 
To her Its Now or never 
For her death is better

Cynthia. This is a sad poem but very well written. I have heard of people cutting the pain away and it's a tragic thing that anyone has to feel that way. Wish there were something we could do for them.
