Beginning

you say it doesn't hurt.
all the names they shout at you
you say that you don't care
all the things they say about you
you say it's not so bad
being lonely with no friends
you say it's how life is
living in pain everyday
you say you don't notice
how many rocks they throw at you
you say they have a reason
to hurt you like they do
you don't want to admit
how it makes you cry at night
you cannot see the truth
you deserve better

Snowflakes

I swear I've seen
the same piece of snow
traveling past
my frosty window.
I think in my mind,
perhaps it blows
around and around
never touching the ground.
But I mind not a bit
as I watch where I sit
With snow flying by
my fascinated eyes.
The pure white snow
against wintry grey skies
from high up above
down the snow flies.
If only time would stop.
Let me gaze a bit more,
but work must be done,
life goes on as before.

cutting

i am calm
though the blood rushes madly
it drips off my wrist.
it takes the pain from within me
and puts it on the floor
in a puddle
a red puddle
