Into Darkness

Keep in mind, I wrote this when I was 15.

She has no one to turn to.

No one to understand.

The blood falls, from her wrist to the sink.

It’s the only pain she can control.

She sits in the corner crying.

She doesn’t know what to do.

What will happen next?

She’s drifting away and losing her mind.

She’s faded into darkness.

What can she do?

She’s waiting for you.

She never sees the light of day.

Her mother notices a change and asks her why.

She says “Nothing.” and locks herself in her room.

She cries for help, but no one can hear her.

She sits on her bed, grabs a pen and paper.

She writes her mother a letter.

They tried to help her, but it was too late.

Author's Note

I wrote this when I was 15. It's a wonder I'm even posting something I wrote six years ago. I was still relatively new to poetry and I don't come from the most open family, so I admit, it's pretty bad.

Reviews

[November Gold]

There is nothing bad about this at all. It was very poignant and direct about the hurts and the let downs that we can sometimes feel when no one is listening to us. It's ironic to me really, because I am involved in a bit of turmoil with my mother right now about some of my writing that she has read and is upset because "it makes her look bad" to people reading it...I say to you, BRAVO on an outstanding poem, a brave expression and I applaud you for exposing something that is so painful and felt by so many in life.

[Kenneth The Poet]

Deadly, dark and dare I say destructive. Yet, this is beautiful.

[Raven Starhawk]

It has a raw feel to it that influences this reader to understand the pain and hardships that accompany such a decision. Sometimes for some it is the only way to release emotions that seem nearly impossible to cope with.

[Kayla K]

Definitely glad you posted this. I could relate to it very well, when I had times like that. Looove it.

[Dearantlers]
