Why Can't I End This?

by Cassandra   Jun 13, 2007


I want it to end.
To feel the pain no more.
I fold and I bend.
And I fall to the floor.

I reach for my knife.
And stare at the shimmer it makes.
This could be the end of my life.
One cut is all it takes.

I lay the blade upon my wrist.
The metal is cold.
I close my hand into a fist.
Will I really be so bold?

I sigh.
And lay down my knife.
Never will I learn to fly.
Not in this life.

So goes another day.
Another attempt to leave this life.
But never will I play.
For I am stuck living in strife.

I rise from the floor.
And hide my knife once more.
Never will my mother know, when she walks through the door.
That my blood was about to cover my floor.

    I think it was pretty good myself ,but there are other ways of dealing with life, you may be pone that just thinks you have it rough, all in all the poem was great. You did a wonderful job on it, but it would look better to the reader if you drop the extras like this line:�Will I really be so bold?�
    Will I really be so bold, would make it look a lot better, 5/5 great job. it's not always the best poem that gets the vote or comment, it's the effect you put into it.As long as it comes from the heart , be happy.
