Pain And Strife

by Rachele   Jul 18, 2005


I never once thought
That I would use a knife
To take away my pain and strife.

4 years ago, I didn't even know
What a broken heart felt like.

I never used to understand
How a person could cut and
All their pain would just go away.

But since the first time I picked up that knife, I felt like I had such a better life.

Until the day they took it away.
Since then I've been stuck in disarray.

I remember the fist sensation.
I felt like I was finally alive.

All the pain just went away.
I felt like I was finally home to stay.

I can't keep lying.
Ever since they took it away,
I feel like I'm really dying.

It gets harder everyday
To make the pain go away.

Sometimes I wonder why I even try
When all I ever do is cry.

If life is so great,
Like one big piece of cake,
Than why do I feel so fake?

    Very sad, but true, in many ways. Please don't give up your hope....I know it's hard, but do your best to.... Go get em girl! Tell them the truth and how you feel, whether it's writing it down in words or just speaking.... You know what, try not to worry what others think of you....boy, do I know this is hard! I do this all the time, which makes me more confused. Do your best to just be you. Don't let them influence you in negative ways, try to let them influence you in positive ways, as best as possible. Try to become a better person than they've ever been to be.... I think you'd make a great counselor and friend. Unless, you weren't choosing to go to college?

    Again, greeeeat poem..

    *Big Hugs," always,
