Her parents yell, her brother is abusive
Always getting high. She’s sick of this
Life sometimes. Her boyfriend is gone,
Won’t be back for a couple months. All
She wants to do is cry.

She gets lonely quickly, it takes time
For her scars to heal, but deep inside
She’s in this world of pain and nothing
seems to heal.

Late at night, she thinks why she is
Always putting up with this pain she
Is in. And why she has to deal with life
Like this. This all leads to sleepless nights,
Distracted by tears.

Her boyfriends gone, not there to help
Her get past the painful words her mother
Says. She struggles to breathe, struggles
To live.

She found a way to deal with pain 2
Years ago, but she hasn’t done it in
So many months. She begins to cut
Again.

Her cutting got out of control and now
that’s all she seems to feel like doing.
She cuts her wrists, arms, ankles, her
Upper thighs and her stomach. Soon
She’s full of cuts and tries to hide them.

Her gym teacher wonders why she has
Cuts all over her arms and ankles, but
She has not questioned. She seems to
Just walk by.

Soon she feels invisible. As no one
Seems to notice her. Then… things
Get better for a while. Full nights
Of sleep, no more crying.

But now she has to deal with being
Lonely and her boyfriend being gone.
She starts to cry wishing he was there
To comfort her and to keep her safe.
But still today, she feels invisible.
No one seems to notice her. Although,
She still cuts, and has some scars that
Won’t heal.
