Princess in Distress

by BECCA lessTHANthree   Jan 26, 2007


Once upon a time
There was a princess in distress
She took a knife to her wrist
And real hard, she pressed

It did her little harm
it was the perfect remedy
it freed her from her pain
and stopped her insanity

So she did it one more time
Just one more time she swore
So that things could feel okay
The way they did before

But one more was one too many
One more would be her last
She ran for help, she cried for life
The blood was dripping fast

Then God came down from heaven
And quietly but stern he said
I will heal you just this once
Cause you should not be dead

From that day she tried her best
To fight temptations with the knife
She tried her best, to enjoy
This stupid game called life

And as weeks then months went by
She forgot why she was sad
But still she couldn't help herself
From always feeling bad

She was losing every battle
Of the war inside her heart
Standing up but falling down
And getting torn apart

but she gained a lot from battles
Even times she never won
Because it made her stronger
let her happiness begun

    Interesting. A few grammatical errors, however.. I'd reread it and fix those. Otherwise, it was very cliche, and a little iffy in places, but not bad over all.

    "They way they did before"

    I would take a y out of that first word.

    "let her happiness begun"

    you use two tenses. It is just a little different and doesnt really make sense to me.

    But in all I reaaaaaaalllly enjoyed this read. Everyone makes those little mistakes, and of coarse i am always the one to point them out. lol, yea i love how they all rhymed together with the first and last lines, or somewhere around that, but in the beginning there were a couple of stanzas that seemed a little off and out of place. The flow was great though and it is very unique. Therefore awesome!!! I love your poems! and sorry for commenting the wrong one before. (i didnt realize that people had posted what they wanted) lol
    well thanks
