The girl who beat death

by UtterlyAlive   Aug 7, 2013


I try to hide
I try to bury myself in silence
But the voices around me call
He calls my name

He says to come out,
That our little game is done
But is it?
Or does he just want to win

Driven by greed and
And his self centered ways
when the time is right
He strikes and kills

He watches every drop of blood fall
Smiling at his success
Smiling at the fact that he won once again
Not caring about who he hurts

He laughs as he watches a little girl cry
And decides to take her next
He pricks her soul
With anger, sadness and hatred

"Life's a lie!" She cries
"A cruel relentless lie"
He grins as she writes her final words on a piece of paper
And says I love you one last time

She loads a gun and slowly
Raises it to her head
But right before her final moment
She opens her eyes and realizes something

She's stronger then this
Stronger then the problems life throws at her
She smiles as she rips the paper in two
And laughs as she unloads her gun

He's petrified by the fact he lost
Not ever had he lost his own game
Beaten by me
The girl who beat death

Suicide is permanent solution
I realize that
But it's a permanent solution
To a temporary problem

Now he sits
Waiting for the rematch
A game that I will play
A game that I will lose

Maybe tomorrow
Maybe in a year
But not today
For today, I am free

    This was beautifully written and tells that sad tale of a girl being victimized by this man who keeps tormenting her, up until the point where she wants relief. You had a very clear voice in this.

    I like how in the ending lines you mention the "rematch"... it makes me wonder if this person is Death itself personified, the Devil, or an actual person in your life who has discouraged you. I also noticed you honestly say this is a "game that I will play/ a game that I will lose" but that you are reflecting on right now... not thinking if this will come up again but dealing with it in the present which takes determination.

    I also like how you focused more on the emotion and expressing the strength of this girl (you) than having all of this punctuation. It wasn't confusing without it and still flowed alright, especially since every line could speak on it's own and make sense to the reader.

    Keep writing!
