Moon

At night the moon shines You lay there so upset About what the girls at School said about you Well no one seems to Care as you write on Your skin with silver And it comes off red No one will miss you Will they? You wonder You decided they wont So you grab paper, writing Soon you stop and grab The silver from the desk You run it on your wrists As you cry, then you're gone Well now it's time for the Moon to shine, you're gone Your job is done now, it is the Moon's time to shine, not Yours

Let the moon shine on you and raise your tide. Let it illuminate the red chroma of life that pours out of you. Let your blood coagulate within it's light, only to leave another line. Scoring one more time that you have persevered.

Such a beautiful poem it is, full of emotions and absolutely wonderful to read, you see people say many things about you, it is people job to criticize and what s your job is to ignore them and let your silence shine, do something wonderful that they are forced to respect you, anyways I really enjoyed reading this wonderful poem of yours, I wish you a very warm well here on poetrysoup, good luck and have a really nice day

Amber, cutting is a way of life for many who feel completely alone, despondent and depressed. There is a suicide hotline in every town. All you have to do is dial the operator and ask her for it. It is a toll free number. I wanted to add this comment to your poem "just in case" Welcome to Poetry Soup. Your poem made me think and made me scared. Terrific writing my friend! Wow!
