The Cut by Leah06

I read a poem
That really touched me
It was a long and scary poem
About death and misery.
About how he took the cold hand of death
Looking it strait in the eye
And how it wasn’t even painful
And how his parents didn't cry.
No one showed up to his funeral
No one even cared
No one was in sadness
Not a peaceful moment shared.
He forgot he was all alone
With no friends or family
Where no one ever noticed him
He was invisible to see.
I couldn’t believe he felt this way
And how no one in his world even cared
How he never found someone
With his feelings they both shared.
How he tried to kill himself
Since there was no point in life
He couldn’t find a way out
So he took wrist to knife.
He said he liked to cut
And how it felt so good
He never knew someone cared
He never thought I would.
Because when I came across his poem
I couldn’t help but cry
I knew I had to help him
He doesn’t deserve to die.
I told him to hold on
And that I really care
To never give up
And I will always be there.
I couldn’t believe I found this guy
With so much experience to lend
And all he really needed
Was a loving friend.

May Your Poem, Help, This Friend.
Leah066, do you writr for him, or for your self? Your words I hear, and many of us have read your words, your heart exploding, with what it felt. If, in truth, this poem, you write about a friend, there is nothing you can do, the cut, will be then end. If, it is your cohice, to to tell him, he as a friend before he meets his, final end.

I think he will know, if, he read your poem, that if, he decides to go, he passes by, a loving friend.

I pray the knife lacks the razors edge, and through the tears, he lifts up hi head and sees, the rainbow, of your thoughts, so, wonderfully, expressed her.

This is a life in the spot-light poem, Leah06, now, the question is, can he may the cut.

Excellen Poem, share it with him, if he is still around.

UM

it is funny...
its funny how the day after i submitted this poem, a friend had this exact problem. She approched me and told me what was going on and i couldent help but cry. I didnt understand how somone so happy and so loved by her friends could have such horrid thoughts of killing herself. At first, i didnt know what to do. Then i thought back to everything i have read in poems and comments and realized the advice i had given to others, is the advice i should follow. And i did. I told one of my teaches at school, and then the teen issues counseler. I cried as i told her story. When she walked into the room she saw me sitting there and crying and she knew why i was there. At fist she denied everything, but finnaly, she spilled out all the pain and build up she has help up for the past 2 and a half years. All i know is after that she was picked up by the ambulance and taken to the hospital. I was told she was going to get help. But its been a 9 days and she hates my guts and wont talk to me so i dont know whats going on anymore. I cant blame her for being mad, but she somehow can blame me for telling. All i know is i saved her life. And wether we are friends ever again or not, saving her life is the best thing i have ever done. And i wouldent change a thing!

Thanks for commenting! Love always,
Leah Kendall
