Once upon a time, there lived a girl.
Beautiful she was; and fragile as a pearl.
But what people didn't know was that, she always wore a mask.
It was to hide her sad, horrible past.
She walked down the hallway on the creeking floors,
and burst through the bedroom doors.
A rush of pain jolted through her hand,
she hit a vain, no one could understand.
No one's understood the things she's gone through.
No one knows why she does the things she do.
Memories begin to rush through her head,
memories that remind her that she'd be better off dead.
She whispers to herself, "No one understands.
Why I sit here with a knife in my hand.
They tell me the same stupid things,
they say, 'suffering is what cutting brings.'
But answer me this question before you give me a helping hand,
Do you really think you truly understand?"
She stops there, tears rushing down her face.
She doesn't move and stays directly in place.
She leaves a 5 foot long, bloody red trail,
from her wrist that she cuts when all else fails.
Sirens in the background, she's drifting off to sleep.
She's drowning in her blood as she lays there and weep.
On last breath before she ends her life,
but she's not going anywhere without a fight.
Breathing heavily, she regains control,
footsteps running upstairs; police in patrol.
They try to open the door, but find that it's locked,
she has to get away, but she is in shock.
How did they know that she was here?
Commiting this act, she stood there in fear.
They rupture the door and was shocked at what they saw,
seems like this "perfect-little-girl" has many, many flaws.
The police took a step towards her, trying to calm her down.
Faster and faster she felt her heart pound.
"Its ok," they said, "give us the knife."
"You shouldn't try to end your happy fun-filled life."
"They don't understand," she says in her mind.
"They haven't suffered the pain, they think Im just fine..."
The police takes a second steps towards her and speaks once more,
"Everything's going to be alright, come to the door."
She takes one step back and begins to yell,
"You will never understand, GO BURN IN HELL!"
She turns around quickly and runs towards the window.
She was crying deep inside, but the tears did not show.
She jumped right out, it was 7 stories high,
it was her last attempt to commit suicide.
She was taken to the hospital and tired to stay alive,
and during those days a man always stayed by her side.
He told the nurse, he should have been there for her,
and that he will love her, always and forever.
She died the night of the full moon,
the man stayed near and said, "I'll see you soon..."

    Okay you did a great job on this poem, but i would shorten it a bit. I mean you keep the rhyme to keep the attention of a read but still most people look at size and don't read it unless it is short. It had good thoughts in it. 5/5
