You know things are bad

by Lauren   Feb 6, 2007


You know things are bad
When a smile makes u sick,
When you tell yourself things will get better
But the promise just won't stick.

You know things are bad
When you don't eat all day,
When hunger becomes a game
You just have to play.

You know things are bad
When you rely on a blade,
When the everflowing blood
Makes your life start to fade.

You know things are bad
When life starts to rearrange,
But as much as it kills you
You don't want it to change

    That last stanza was so powerful and I admire that,

    You know things are bad
    When you rely on a blade,
    When the everflowing blood
    Makes your life start to fade.

    This piece I read over and over again it drew so much attention. 'when you rely on a blade'
    I love that line. This is the best poem I've read from you so far....Besides the 'I'm sorry mum' Poem. xx

    I like the technique you used to repeat the very first line in every stanza (I forget what its called though . . .). Also, the "You know it's bad when" is sort of a pun in and of itself, which just gives more character to the poem.

    Brilliantly done.
