A Poem by Emilee

                            
11:34.
I tried to get your help
But you all turned me down
You under-estimate the wrath of sad I feel.

I am a mere 0.1 in a world of millions.
I'm easy to forget. To check on.
But on the odd occasion.
It'd help to be told I made
0.1 of a difference, at least.

People rush sentences.
They don't say what they mean.
They say what is needed.
But not what is true.

It's 12:05.
And I can't exorcise this feeling.
Not by words. Seen or heard.
But by seaping of myself, onto the ground
And into the world.

I want to strip my skin
And start over
Find the beauty deep down
I feel when I look at you.

I don't expect you to care
Or to talk about it
Or to help me at all
But sometimes I crave what I don't want.
Sometimes I give in to the other side of me.

It's 12:55 and I
don't want to die
tonight at least.

It's 12:56 and I feel fine
