To my family and friends,

I can no longer pretend.

To be what I’m not

My ‘happiness’ hides the fact that I’m so distraught.

Makeup covers cuts and scars that are self-inflicted.

Weight loss is from being restricted.

Black bags under my eyes,

They are like a stormy sky.

If you ask people who think they know me,

They’ll tell you that I’m happy and free.

I’m sorry I have to do this,

But I hope you can reminisce.

Remember that sweet smiley little six year old.

The little girl who offered a hand to hold.

Not the self-destructive monster I’ve become.

I’m emotionally numb.

I’m sorry that this will hurt you,

But I’m hurt, too.

My 14 years on this earth are done

Suicide is the answer that’s won.

Re: Suicide (Poem)

Thanks, people on another website hated it though :(

Re: Suicide (Poem)

This is brilliant, I know I can relate (but I'm 15 :p)
