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.

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!
