Never Good Enough

She is twelve years old No one to care No one to hear The screams of her heart But we turn our noses up She is six feet under A knife in her back Praying for the pain and suffering to end But we turn our noses up She tries her best They break her heart Can’t sleep at night with the monsters creeping in her room But we turn our noses up She begs and plead She gets down on her knees Trying to hold on They see her pain But we turn our noses up Two years later Lessons learned, and new scars made She changes who she really is But we turn our noses up

This is so true of some. People just WON'T see what's right in front of their eyes. Others, like myself, do. Well done!

How much better it seems now than when it is finally done– the unforgettable first line, the cunning way the stanzas run. The rhymes soft-spoken and suggestive are barely audible at first, an appetite not yet acknowledged like the inkling of a thirst. While gradually the form appears as each line is coaxed aloud– the architecture of a room seen from the middle of a crowd. ... Excerpt from Dana Gioia's "The Next Poem". Yes, write again. Then, soon enough, your poems will write you.

I wrote this for an assignment, but as i was writing it the power of how much pain and suffering i really had got to shine through, and i just wanted to share this with people around the world. Thanks for reading and understanding the story of my life, because it goes deeper the the surface. Just let me know what you think and if i should create more
