You

A girl who witnesses someone going through depression and did nothing about it till it was too late.

They say you are ugly,

They say you are horrendous,

But you are lovely,

And in my eyes you are gorgeous.

I see you walk through the hallway all alone,

You start to wish you stayed at home,

But even there you are not safe,

From the taunts from your father whenever he was in a furious chafe.

I see you sitting under a tree,

Your face is hiding behind your hands,

As you cry with unanswered pleas,

I am the only one who can see the scars under your arm bands.

You say you just want to take the pain away,

You think self harm is the only way,

But really its not okay,

I swear tomorrow will be a brand new day.

You hide in your bedroom,

Behind a locked door,

You feel abandoned,

As you grab the knife from your draw.

I am at your funeral,  not many people came,

Most of them didn't even know your name,

I am the one to blame,

I could've helped but now it's too late and I bow my head in shame.

You just wrote amazing, while reading I wish the poem should not end. Every inch I was shifting my eyes it was like a picture of some unknown sorrow sprinted in front of me.
A perfect beginning , awesome middle, and a painful ending.
It was just like a image of myself in the written form, and that is what defines writer and his power of pen and thoughts.
Wonderful write!

Whoa, intense poem you got there. This poem captivated the feelings intensely. Nicely written.

The most beautiful people are the most real and true to themselves. Sometimes, we have to help others see that for themselves. Marilyn Monroe once said something like: "You're the beautiful one, it's society that's ugly." Everyone should be told that they are worth something--just one thing because it is the difference between them living or dying. Words are important as body language.

wow... this poem is beautiful. I'm not even sure what to say, other than that I really loved it. It's very sad, and I can understand why Maddy teared up because good gosh, I was too. You're a very talented writer, dear! Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece of work!

[Sebastian Falzarano]

I have to say that this was very well written. The flow of the lines and the abrupt events combined to form a message to/for all those who seek/need help.

...... My eyes sting..... oh my god.... my eyes sting...... i'm ready to cry! You know I'm not a very emotional person and i dont cry like at all, but..... oh my god... I was this close to having tears running down my face during class! This is incredibly sad!! why!!? But i love it!! it's so tragic and upsetting and the worst part is that it's so realistic, with that people feel this way and they get these sort of emotions and feels when something like this happens, its horrid.... Well i'm going to go cry in my emo corner now, great writing Crystal, give us more feels - they crush our cold hearts and make the warm one awaken.
