Life goes on without you

Life goes on without you

A Poem by Jessica Wellentin
"

a cubist poem about a suicidal girl in the first stanza, her only "friend" in the second, and last but not least her mother in the last.

"

You see the marks on my arms, you act like they aren’t there.

They just keep coming and coming, so you start to pretend I’m not there either.

My worst fear is being alone and you have done exactly that.

New marks keep appearing,

I can’t stop.

All I wanted was someone to be there for me,

Someone to at least pretend to care.

Then rumors started going around

My secrets have been revealed

When the only person I told was you.

Now since you enjoy spreading things, you get to tell them I’m gone.

I’m going home, I’m tired of living in my own hell everyday.


She’s gone.

I just wanted to fit in.

I never meant to hurt her.

How am I supposed to tell everyone?

She’s dead and it’s my fault.

If only there was a sign.

Only if she showed me a sign,

I could’ve helped.

I sure wouldn’t have left,

but I'll find a way to move on


My baby is gone.

No one saw this coming, she was the happiest little girl.

If only there was a sign.

If only one of her friends helped.

She always talked about having many friends.

Well she only brought up one,

but she has to have more right?.

If only she knew how much everyone loved her.

No one was ever bad to her,

I just don’t understand.

But time doesn't stop for anyone,

not even for my baby.
