She Was Only 15

by Arcane Blondie   Jul 7, 2006


They all gather around dressed in black,
Tears escape from their eyes because of the loved one lost,
They watch as the casket is lowered into the ground,
Where she will remain for all of time,
Memories flood their minds and make it hard to bear,
She was a girl loved by all,
Enemies were unknown to her throughout her life,
But now that precious life is gone,
She was only 15.

No one knew the pain she endured,
Went through life giving her best,
Every night she was cried to sleep,
But everyday she gave life new hope,
Everyone around loved her smile,
But she knew they loved what was fake,
Happiness is all that she displayed,
There were no signs that they should doubt her,
Life was bending her, bit by bit,
It was only a matter of time until she broke,
She was only 15.

    I like how you repeated "She was only 15"

    It is a very sad poem. It is very sad because alot of people go through life being upset and sad all through their life but no one knows it. Just like you described in the poem. Good job hunn.

    It may be another poem about a fake smile and an unexpected suicide, but you made it special. absolutely brilliant.

    Very good and deep. You do a great job of conveying an entire story in two stanzas... great job.

    Well the line that the above people have pointed out...I'd have to disagree..I didn't think there was anything wrong with it...this poem was about suicide and the line "No one knew the pain she endured" was just simply stating that she was holding to much pain and stress which know one knew of and it led to the funeral..I followed..but I do understand them saying that she didn't know of the pain it had on her mourners

    I hate poems of suicide (although I like how you wrote this and still give you a five) just makes me scared to think of a friend or myself dieing...bone chilling write!

    I really loved this poem..I have been in that situation before so i can kind of relate to this, it's not a fun position to be in, but normally any funeral isn't fun..I know many people who have wanted to kill them selves..some who actually have it's a very sad topic..I can't say i have never thought of it, hell i actually attempted it..but I guess what im trying to say is maybe This poem will tell me something, b/c it was great and very inspiring whether it is true or not, i loved it 5/5
