I Die

Poem I just wrote for a contest, and it ended up being better than I expected.

I see myself in the mirror

Standing with a tear

Running down my cheek

It's only been a week

 

As I keel with hunger and thirst

I feel like I've already done my worst

How could I do this?

All you want is bliss

 

I scream and yell at it

"How can you kill me bit by bit

How can you kill me like you are?"

I never left a scar

 

"You think I don't know that?

I want you out, you little brat!

I want you out of my head!"

Either way you'll be dead

 

It hissed at me

But I never turned to plea

I needed it out!

I can hear your whispers and shouts

 

I felt my head begin to pound

And I fell to the ground

"Stop! You're hurting my mind!"

Only a moment until you're blind

 

Wetness runs down my face

As to the phone I race

The numbers I can no longer see

And laughter is laced with sick glee

 

I stumble to my room

My heart shadowed with gloom

I write my final goodbye,

Raise the shiny knife it made me buy

With a cry,

I die.

If you didn't understand it, she had a voice-thingy that made her starve herself (hence the 'it's only been a week'), turned her blind, and drove her to kill herself. Tell me your thoughts

I think it's very powerful.....it's lovely, I love poetry with a sort've weird almost twisted "kick" to it. :)
