What's Wrong?

Something I wrote during Bio instead of studying for exams.

 

What's wrong, girl?

I can see that you're sad

Stop hiding from the world,

You're gonna do great in life

Can't you see, their words are fake

Words are only words,

It doesn't have to hurt.

 

What's wrong, girl?

I can see the tears in your eyes

Stop faking that smile,

Stop hiding from your enemies

Ignore them, they aren't worth it

Because their words are just words,

They don't mean a thing.

 

What's wrong, girl?

I can see those permanent marks

That are scattered over your arms

Since age thirteen you've stopped eating

Since age thirteen you have hurt yourself

Fair enough, I know how it feels

But this feeling does not last

It comes and goes, comes and goes

Just know, you will never lose me.

 

What's wrong, girl?

We're going 'round in circles

Nothing will move in positive progress

Unless you make the first move,

Let it go and tell them how you feel

And if they laugh

Just know you'll never lose me

Because their words are only words

Invented to bring you down and make them feel better,

It doesn't have to hurt.

Author's Note

I wrote this for one of my best friends. I don't know if I should show it to her though.

This poem is amazing. I really think you should show her. It would show her just how much you care about her. I'm sure she would really appreciate something as greatly written as this, and so understanding with that love only a friend can give. A sense of security that they can harbor all their fears and secrets in. A friend can be so much, and yet this poem really shows a number of those things. I really like the style, and the overall way it was written. Great job!

Bracing and trusted to the point of suspicion, I feel guided within the wording and imagery, well done, good read.

You should definitely show it to her.. The theme is very apt describing that the words are only mere words unless they are practiced and nothing else . The world always say and think nonsense about us which has no practical meaning when we are suffering from severe loss and there is no-one with us to help out with that situation.. Only a true friend can accompany her and show her the way to cope with it..
