Neglected PerspectiveA Poem by Gabby Nieves
Its 3:00 AM and my life has escaped
My mom is screaming at my body Hoping I'll wake Tears rushing down her face The Earth can feel the pain coursing through her veins What have I done? What have I f*****g done!? An hour ago I was starring at myself Watching my eyes look back at me in disgust I didn't move I didn't breathe Only the sounds of running water could muffle my inner screams Help me Lord, please let me be free! But what happened next only the Devil could accept That demon grabbed a razor blade and put it to my neck There were no distractions, No second thoughts or reactions My true self was shed as a single tear That person in the mirror still glaring back at me The blade pushed in deep And in that moment, right before I fell to my knees My reflection gave a wink And I swear it smiled at me I'm on the floor now The medics say I'm dead "Shes lost too much blood," I think one of them said I take one last look Away from the chaos Beyond this horrific mess And in the back of the room Standing in the corner, wearing a dress I see myself Wrapped in perfection My body without scars Not a single worry lay on my fragile heart I tried to look longer To be sure of what I saw But the world became an empty darkness And there was only one thing left A big black body bag And a bloody f*****g mess © 2015 Gabby NievesAuthor's Note
