I'm Tired.

My wrists are webbed

enough life has been bled,

I'm tired.

Oh, so, tired.

I'm tired of feeling worthless,

of feeling fat,

I'm tired of feeling ugly,

I'm tired of feeling like that.

The blood flow slows,

and drips from the cracks

in my wrists made of crystalline, fragile glass,

My eyelids droop, and my hearing dulls

Before I fall,

or rise, whatever it is,

I open my eyes one last time.

I gaze into the mirror,

the surface that haunted me for so long,

and now, in the worst possible moment,

I realize,

I'm beautiful.

That's all I ever wanted.

But it's too late.

I'm gone.

Greatly done. There's so much things and people around us that make us feel like this. And we always realize too late that we are unique in our own way. But Sophie, i really don't know why you would feel like this. You are such a talented writer and you surely have many other great skills.
Nice Job.

Most people can't see their beauty. Beauty is the good things we do without the desire of reward or honor. I like the strong description.
"I realize,
I'm beautiful.
That's all I ever wanted.
But it's too late.
I'm gone."
Thank you for the excellent poetry.

Oh my god! I love this SOphie, I feel like this all the time and unfortunately, I have done something about it. Nothing extreme as cutting though. Keep up the good work!

A lot of girls seem to get this way. I've read soooo so many cutting-poems like this, but none as calm. When I read this I felt... I don't know, serene. I always love reading your stuff, I usually delete all of my reading requests except for yours and maybe 2 others. Most people, when they write about emotional things, are just lazy and pissed off and don't care really what they're writing. I think they just want pity. But in this, you made it seem so beautiful and sad. Great job. As always.

An excellent revelation to have pre-emptively.

[Lumière Dé..]

Awww... This is so sad yet hopeful in a really messed up way.
Before I fall,
or rise, whatever it is,

Love that line especially. Shows how exhausted the person is and how they just don't care anymore...
