The game i lost

by lonely princess   Oct 22, 2007


17 and all alone,
Waiting for that someone,
To call her phone.

That call never came though,
As hard as she waited,
She just couldn't go on.

So she lined them up,
One by one.
Got a drink and spat out her gum.

She wrote her note,
And left it by her pillow.
Hoping not to wake up tomorrow.

She took the pills,
Each one she swallowed,
Felt like an escape.

For she'd leave this terrible life,
Of pain and hurt,
Used like a doll, thrown out like rubbish.

To the conclusion that she wasn't wanted,
She kept taking the pills,
One by one.

20 down,
20 to go.
Keep going, you can do it.

Then to her wrists and thighs,
She took a blade,
with 40 cuts to match the tablets.

She prayed this would be it.
That this would be the end.
How wrong could she be?

By the end of the night this girl had taken 40 tablets, made 40 deep cuts,
Of which she hoped she died.
But to this day, that girl is alive, writing you this poem, trying not to cry.

~~~ I hope you appreciate this poem, I needed to vent this all out. Please leave me comments, Thank you, and Goodbye xx ~~~

    This really captures the deep angst and sadness of the sometimes futility of life. I think many can relate to this type of despair. But getting through the rough, unbearable moments of life make one stronger in the long run. Though still sad, the end does contain a note of hope. Meanwhile, I've found that writing can be the best form of self therapy and healing. Just keep this on paper and out of reality! Things change, things get better, even if we don't always see it right away. This is a very honest and soul baring piece.

    Peace, poetry & Power,
