Suicide girl

by firexdancer   May 13, 2007


You may think her smile is beautiful,
her eyes like stars in their brightness,
but just look closely,
in her mind, there's something to confess.

beneath the blue swirls of her spirit,
uncover the dusty mirror of her heart,
realize happiness is only a reflection,
as your dreams start to break apart.

feel her pain, once so innocent,
yet now a torrent of red,
maybe her eyes now look different,
look like the eyes of the dead.

well yes, her heart is still beating,
each thump another salty tear,
and her lungs still take in air,
but instead of blood flows fear.

maybe you could see her as a living being,
another walker of the earth,
yet she has already sacrificed herself willingly,
her life is one that has gone first.

so if you finally understand,
why she covered her tears with a twirl,
it's to late to tell her now,
because as she lies on the floor, two words scar her forever; suicide girl.

    I liked it alot!
    I liked the way you didn't capitalise most of the words, it makes you think of the 'suicde girl' as a young girl, and that can make it more sad.
    Loved the wording, some good discriptions in it, (can be found in every line)
    I liked it, very enjpoyible read.

    I enjoyed this. Its a poem many would call "cliche" but you pulled it off nicely. The title of the poem gives away the subject of the poem. And the first line, the "You may" makes the reader acctually wonder what this girl acctually is. You describe this "mask" that many suicidal people seem to where. And yes looking more closely is something that many people do not do even though they should. Maybe ecuase they dont want to look more closely. I liked your description in this, "dusty mirror of her heart," i think it describe suicidal depression excellently. And it kinda creates this image. Mirrors are usually clean, and shiny. Not dusty. The rhyme sceme of this poem was a little sketchy. And the last line i found was too long. Another thing i ddint like was your punctuation. You only use this strict strcture. Try using enjambent. That said the poem itself was really emotional. You used emotion and vocabulary to your advantage. Keep it up! xx
