Another Suicide

by Kathrynn   Mar 21, 2005


Another blood stained towel
another cut to hide away
another drop of blood
another lie for her to say
another puffy blister
made with another cigarette
another burn to cover up
so no one sees just yet
another slip up of her sleeve
another phone call home
another psych ward for this child
another long, dark night alone
another day, another doctor
another God damned diagnosis
another label for her pain
another name for her psychosis
another second of madness
another minute in pain
another hour of emptiness
another day, insane
another sleepless night
lying awake in fear
another day, too tired
to hide the oncoming tears
another "disease", another "cure"
another prescription to go fill
another visit to the pharmacy
another psychotropic pill
another sickened soul
one last cut was how she died
another funeral to plan
another suicide
