Fluorescent Stars.

by Marta   Sep 20, 2004


All around the empty spaced room
Laying quietly on my bed spread
I start to count the fluorescent stars
That glow like a color of yellowy red

My body feels damaged and weak
So I reach for my tattered knife
The only thing that saves me
From this dark n blackened life.

Dazzlingly I follow through in a phase
This really will make me feel better
I know because I've done it before
No longer feeling like writing a letter

So as I take my tattered little knife
I slit into something I can't even see
Because everything became a blur
I don't even know the inside of me.

As the blood drops on my bed
In between a giggle I widely grin
I look at what I have severely done
Not believing how deeply I went in.

I start to laugh so angrily hard
That my eyes stream with tears
I couldn't believe how funny it was
How easily I got rid of my fears.

But then I suddenly figure out
That all the blood on my bed
Was drenched like those stars
Just a complete bloody red.

A fear started running up my spine
And I started to see colors of white
My limbs got so weak and I cried
I cried and I tried to hold on tight.

My breaths cut to short gasps
I couldn't but I really tried
I hoped and prayed to God
That tonight I wouldn't die.

I started to shake so violently
Couldn't help but hear the voices
I once thought they lied to me
Telling me I'm making wrong choices

Suddenly my breathing truly stops
And I'm laying there just lifeless
I just couldn't help anything at all
My life was just a tattered mess.

But as I'm silently laying there
I guess an angel was at my side
She told me everything is okay
And that I won't have to hide.

So all around the empty spaced room
Laying quietly on my bed spread
I open my eyes to see
That same fluorescent star, glowing, a yellowy red.

    Well that scared the crap out of me actually. I thought the first few stanzas didn't flow very well, so you might want to read through them outloud and see if you can get them to sound better (eg no "like" in the last line of stanza #1). I liked the poem however, particularly the ending.
