When this message finds you

I may no longer be a part of this world
But when this message finds you,
Without me to ruin your life,
Your sky will be forever blue.

The arguments you had with dad,
Were all because of me,
So when I am no longer here,
You can finally agree.

I was bullied at school,
Pushed and shoved,
Never like the other kids,
Talked to and loved.

The depression burrowed deeper,
You just couldn't see!
That fatal gash could appear tonight,
Still, no one would miss me.

Don't try and find me,
Leave me and you'll be fine,
I'm not worth the energy,
I'm not worth the time.

The sight of blood frightens me,
Believe me I should know,
More blood pours out of my veins,
As I endure the final blow.

So when this message finds you,
I will be lying on the floor,
The scars on my wrist to prove my pain,
As my blood shall flow no more.

I enjoyed this it is very descriptive and full of emotion. I thought it was going to be cheesy but it pulled away from that completely.

This poem reads so naturally. It moves to encorporate pieces of a life so that you get a sense of character in 28 short lines. Fabulous.

Impressive writing. Very emotive, without falling into the usual cliches. Hard-hitting and very well-written.
