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
