Horrifying Truth

Walking in the school halls

Her head looking down at the ground

And the purple and blue patterned floors

Watching her feet through her glasses

Left foot, right foot, left foot, right

 

She runs into the wall

Already in tears

Wiping her face

Afraid of her fears

 

She walks silently,

Sowly, and peacefully

But no one really knows

She's dying inside

 

She looks as if

A perfect child

But the life she truly

Lives is hell

 

Her friend then discovers

Her wrists and her arms

Marked forever with

Terrable deep scars

 

Her friend wants her to stop

But she refuses to do so

She loves how it feels

But her friend doesnt understand

 

She wants her to stop

Hurting herself and her body

But no one can stop her

No one except herself

 

As time passes

Everyone now knows

They all tease her about it

And call her ''emo''

 

That makes it worse

And they'll never know

Until she's dead

And they know the fault is all their own

 

So even though she seems so perfect

With her blonde hair

And a smile that

Has evidentally fooled many

 

Remember what you say really hurts people

Espically when you don't know the other side

Of the story because

The truth is absolutely horrifying

Author's Note

This poem is actually true. When I'm talking about 'she' I'm refering to a very close friend, and when im talkin about 'her friend' I'm refering to myself.

That was really good. I could actually see this happening in my mind. The cruelty of others is disgusting. The irrevocable damage caused by rumors and teasing. It's a sad thing. I have seen this happen too many times. This was stunningly realistic.

[Havatara]

Oh my god. That really happened? This is an amazing representation of it, of her feelings. My favorite part was the last stanza because it is so very true and I really hate people who talk behind their friends' backs, and the only typo that I caught was in the fifth stanza in the last line, you put "terrable" instead of "terrible." Overall, it was a fantastic poem and I'm looking forward to reading more of your work.
