The End

I feel like it's the end of my life,
As I take this knife close to my wrist,
I think why, 
why do I do this?
I've got to do this!
No time to waist.
As I draw the knife to my flesh,
I cut slowly,
moving the knife back and forth.
As blood comes to the surface,
My pain slows down,
the pain and agony.

Kalie, I began reading and was scared, but as I read on I realized the purpose of this was pure catharsis. Very good.

Very touching and moving write at the age of 13, I can surmise what would have befallen that led her to do that, Kalie
