Life and Death

A 13 year old girl who is being bullied and decides whether its worth living or not.

I lay awake at night thinking about life

Debating whether to pick up this knife

I lay awake at night thinking about death

Debating whether to follow my dream of success

 

Should I just leave and die

All I seem to do nowadays is cry

Should I just get up and go

Or sit here and rock to and fro

 

You have made my life less than I can bare

When I see you, you do not seem to care

You have made my life hell

What can I do when im too scared to tell

 

One day you will see

How much you have hurt me

One day it will be too late

So served to you will be your fate

 

Everytime you throw a punch

I hear an unbearable crunch

Everytime you push

All I can do is shush

 

Why should I make you happy

When all you seem to do is be snappy

I've decided im done with you forever

No more will I let you be so clever

 

I'm going to get on with my life

Never again will you and I strife 

You no longer have a hold on me

Finally now I can just be

This is touching, It reminds me of my own sleepless nights and the abusive relationship I have with my mother. This poem makes me want to get out of this place I'm in and get on with my life. Thank you.

This was so deep. The character, consciously, knows she has two choices- live or die; yet she feel, subconsciously, that she only has one. Amazing piece.

I was in this very place.. that land of shadows you so vividly describe.. that place of waiting... So glad for those last lines that confess the courage one needs to rise above... Powerful...
