For Everyone on this Site

*Dedicated to everyone on this site*

“My heart is broken, shattered in pieces
And it will never mend
I’m addicted to cutting, addicted to crying
My life is what I shall end”

These words are spoken way too often
Amongst girls so perfect and pure
They don’t understand, they just don’t see
For a broken heart there’s a cure

Imagine you choose to end it one day
It may end the struggles in your life
But if you think suicide is the only way out
I’d rather you live by the knife

These words are not some random words
Put together to flow
These words come to paint a picture
My life is what they show

I lost my best friend to suicide
Even after a promise we both made
We promised each other we would not take our lives
We won’t go too far with the blade

I attempted suicide about a year ago
My attempt went all in vain
I was found half-conscious, bleeding on the floor
I was left with nothing to gain

Five long months in a hospital bed
I really just wanted to die
I prayed to God to take my life
But He only heard me cry

And while I was there I was surprised to see
That people really cared
My hospital room was filled with flowers
Their sympathy they shared

I was more surprised when I woke up one morning
To find none other than my dad
The man who had beaten me and left our home
In tears, he looked so sad

And next to him was my mother
I couldn’t believe they’re both in one room
Without having to scream and shout
My spirit began to bloom

Though it may seem as if I’m alright
I cannot continue to lie
I still cry and I still cut
And I still wish I could die

If I one day have the urge
To push the blade too far
I look down at my satin wrist
And see that deadly scar

And if you one day have the urge
To end your precious life
Remember you may end your struggle
But you will cause others strife

... Unfortunately this is a true story and it really did happen to me...

*R.I.P. Danielle… you broke your promise but I still love you!
This poem was inspired after reading about an attempted suicide of a very talented member of this site… ღl*Hailie*l ღ ... I hope you make it through... don't ever give up*
