Staring Back At Me

by iFallToPieces   Mar 19, 2009


I don't know whats been happening,
I don't remember who i use to be.
I don't seem to recognize the person,
Staring back at me.

I can't take it any longer,
As i cut my skin with my knife,
Blood trickles down my arm,
As i try to end my life.

I've been like this for awhile,
People are beginning to see.
The person I've been hiding,
The one staring back at me.

I may not regret it,
I just wish people didn't know.
Then it would be easy,
To hide the feelings that seem to show.

Some cuts may be visible,
But only I can truly see.
How much of a mess I've caused,
The person staring back at me.

One day at a time,
Slowly i start to fade,
I guess this is because,
Of all the times I have been betrayed.

The nights seem to be harder,
Than I ever thought they would be.
I still do not recognize,
The person staring back at me.

But slowly time will pass,
And i will start to fade.
No longer will people have to live,
Through this stupid little charade.

So, so long to this girl.
The one i use to be.
And Goodbye to the girl,
Staring back at me.

    Wow. Well done. This is verry well written. It flows perfectly and your rhyme scheme is excellent. Very powerful and moving piece that I, and i believe alot of other people will relate to. The first few lines really caught my attention and kept me reading. Nice work.
