Never Again

A Poem by Kuro Bakura

I wrote this a while ago. It's about a teenage boy who decides to commit suicide after not being able to take the pain, abuse & heartache anymore. (I am the author of this poem.)

Today is the last day
That I will walk this path
Seeing the sun shine beautifully

As I walk to the creek
I start to think
Should I go back now or keep going

I’m sick of my life
Full of abuse and neglect
And no love to feel

No one can heal me
Because what I feel
Is fucked up & ashamed

I get to the creek
I walk into the water
Feeling cold and the darkness flow through my veins

Why am I doing this?
Hell, I like even care!
No one else gives a damn anyway

I start to put my hand in my bag
It triggers my mind to when
Being called names like “f*g”

“S**t”
“Tramp"

And always being told, "You're mine"

I remember the day
The first time I was raped
Being treated like a rag doll
My pride turning into fear

I laid there, lifeless
Stinging from the pain all over my body
And realized nobody cares about me

As I found the knife and
I looked at it with tear in my eyes

Mascara and eyeliner
Streaming down my face
“I’m a disgrace” kept running through my head

Stabbing myself
My life flashes before my eyes and blood starting to turn the creek red

Falling back
I see or hear nothing
Except darkness filling with fear

Played a game in a fast pace and landed in last place
Just glad it’s over
And know I never had redo this race

Never Again
Will I hear the voices of anger and cruelness Or be able to live life to the fullest
Now I must lay here and let the water take over my body, mind & soul

Goodbye world
Oh, how much you’ll be missed
But I'm glad I will never have to see to it

"Never Again"

Difficult subject - but often the difficult ones make interesting art.

A few typos distract slightly from the reading:

The fist time I wa raped (first? was?)
As soonas I stabbed myself (soon as)

I think this works - but it might be better if you could find a way to shorten it - remove some of the parts where you tell the reader things - just show us actions and let the reader realize what has happened - and what is happening.

I like the part about mascara and eyeliner - that shows something of the boy very clearly without the need to tell the reader anything more than what they can see.
