A/N: This is one of my earlier poems that I was able to find. I wrote this on 12/29/07. Looking back, I realize that the grammer is horrible but I want to share it how I wrote it. I was actually really upset and wrote this after having an emotonally breakdown.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They say,
That a person's eyes
Can led you to
Their soul
They say,
That if one doesn't
Have a soul
Then the person
Doesn't have a heart
But what if
Their souls
Are empty?
What if their souls
Are hidden?
To keep them protected?
I say,
A soul is
JUST a soul
I say,
If you can't
See a soul
Then just
LEAVE it ALONE
They say,
That they are
Worried
They say,
That they care
That's what
They ALL say
But, I say,
How do we
Truly know?
They say this
They say that
But how do
WE know the truth?
What if a friend,
A close friend
Is on the verge
Of falling off a cliff?
What would you do?
Would you laugh?
Would you cry?
Would you beg?
For them to
Leave the cliff?
Alive?
Without falling?
Would you lie?
Or tell the truth?
What would you DO?
Would you even care?
That a friend,
Is on the verge,
Of insanity?
Of death?
Of suicide?
Would you brush it off?
Like it was nothing?
Like it's not serious?
That she'll JUST
Grow out of it?
That it's just a phase?
Would you let her fall?
Would you let her spiral off?
Into the darkness?
Would you be glad?
To have her gone?
To have your
Annoying,
Stupid,
Little,
Bitchy ass,
Suicidal
Friend gone?
Would you laugh?
In joy,
Or cry in happiness?
What would you do?
That's what I ask,
Would you EVEN CARE????
That's what I ask
I know what
THEY would do
I experienced it
They would say,
"You are a danger,
To others and to yourself"
But what if you're not?
What if these are what you feel?
What if this is just how you WRITE?
But they won't listen
Not to you,
They never really do
They talk like
They ACTUALLY know ME!
But they don't
They really don't
That's what I say
To those FOOLS
I say,
There's some that know
That TRULY KNOW
I say,
Thank god,
I found them
I say,
I'll try for them,
If not for anyone else
I'll try for them,
To stay a while longer
In this cruel, CRUEL world
I'll try until we drift apart
Or they leave
Or if I can't find those who
TRULY understand ever again,
Then, THEN
I'll leave
I'll leave and never come back
When that time FINALLY comes
I'll take my leave
From this world
But for now
I'll try
To fight,
To remember them
I'll try my best
I ask of you this,
If I fail,
If I let death,
Or the "darkness",
Take me earlier than
I'm supposed to go,
Forgive me
That's ALL I ask,
Forgive me if
I FAIL!
