Darci Hopkins Poem
all this pain is getting to be too much.
i take a blade and slit my wrists, hoping the blood that pours out will relieve me for at least a little while.
i take my blade and hold it to my throat,
take a deep breath, and glance one more time at my note.
the note to my parents, saying not to feel bad,
saying "it's not your fault, i love you mom and dad."
when in reality they are a big part to this major decision.
but i would never tell them that, because i love them too much.

Darci Hopkins Poem
The girl inside hates herself.
She hates the way she laughs-
She hates the way she cries,
She hates the way she sees herself through her own eyes.
She hates the way she walks,
She hates the way she talks,
She hates the fact that she has to act, like nothing is ever wrong.
The girl inside is me, you see,
The girl that wishes she could be-
Better, smarter, skinnier, prettier,
Anything, anyone, that is,
Except me.

Darci Hopkins Poem
i rub her back as she sobs in my lap.
"i never knew i could feel so much pain."
"I know, i know. everything is going to be okay."
i repeat this over and over in her ear,
and she simply nods her head.
i want to believe what i say, but i know i'm just being vague.
things won't be okay, they're not going to get easier,
before long, you just become numb to the pain.

Darci Hopkins Poem
She doesn't want to seem weak,
But she so desperately craves the blade.
She's been stressed, sad, overwhelmed and depressed,
And she's tired of her facade.
She wishes she could cry,
But instead,
She feels emptiness and overwhelming sadness.
It's like a tsunami tide of sorrow,
And she just can't escape it.

Darci Hopkins Poem
She wants to cut-
She needs to bleed.
She wants to cry-
She needs to scream.
She wants to die-
She needs to hide,
From all the pain-
She's kept inside.
