Best Poems Written by Niamh Farrell

At Night

I lay awake at night 
Staring at my wrists 
Thinking with a blade that they must be kissed.
I reach for my phone to tell my friends 
Goodnight and goodbye 
But good would be nothing but a lie. 

I lay awake at night 
Looking at the ceiling 
I shouldn't be having these terrible feelings 
These feelings of hate and anger that take over
I'm only 16 and lm still waiting to discover
Who I am a fighter or a lover.

I lay awake at night 
Writing this poem 
Trying to get the feeling of knowing 
That tomorrow I will put on that fake face again and say 
"Good morning how lovely to see you today."
