Something Worth Dying For/If Only

by Jo   Oct 24, 2005


If only the world could see you for who you are,
If only they could see the pain you hide behind your eyes,
You would kill for this.

If only you weren't so misunderstood,
If only you could share the hurt you feel inside,
You would kill for this.

If only they listened when you spoke,
If only they dared to care about you,
You would kill for this.

If only life didn't seem so dark and empty in your eyes,
If only anything you did was ever good enough,
You would kill for this.

If only your shadow didn't look away when you looked into the mirror,
If only you could live a life of happiness instead of dreaming it,
You would kill for this.

If only they'd miss you once you were gone,
If only they'd bother to remember you,
You would kill for this.

If only you could appreciate yourself,
If only you could take back all the hatred and pain you've caused yourself,
You would kill for this.

If only you could take it all back,
If only the scars would go away,
You would kill for this.

If only this was all a dream and you were still here,
If only you hadn't cut too deep this time to end the pain,
If only a better life wasn't worth dying for.
You killed for this.

    That was really powerful.. and strong.. and sad : ( I love poems like this that you can appreciate so much.. just because the words mean so much and go through so deep.

    That's definitely worth a 5/5. I really loved it.
