Head FirstA Poem by Joey MartinezShe sits by the lake, staring at her own reflection Sick of falling for people's sick deception She sits all alone, hoping someone can save her But just like at home, no one is there for her The water, so deep, so clear Drowning in it can take away the fear It can wipe away all those tears Shes had enough of the feeling of being alone Her heart was once big, but now its just a chunk of stone If she could collect all those tears, it would be deeper than the lake All those times where she put on a smile, were merely fake She had to hide the excruciating pain So she wouldn't drown herself in her tears that came falling down like rain There is a limit to how much pain a person can take But now she has a chance to end it all by jumping in this lake Will she turn back and suffer, knowing things won't get better? Or will she end it all now and have her parents come home to a suicidal letter? She looks at her reflection only to notice that its smiling Because its underwater, it drowned, its no longer dying So she gets up on her own two feet and closes her eyes And falls head first in the lake, she chose to die
