This Girl Poem by Emily Javins

This Girl

Rating: 4.0


I know this girl
I'm pretty sure you do to
This girl wants to be heard
Though she has no voice of her own
I'm here speaking out of turn 
For her I will help
She welcomes death 
Hugging him like friends
Trying to join him in the underworld
Not succeeding 
She tries over and over again
Wanting her life to be over
She lives through to much pain
She knows to much
She only wishes
To be normal
Knowing it will never work
She tries persuading death to take her away
To take the gift back
She doesn't know what to do with her life anymore
She knows to much pain
She's seen to much hurt
She lives in fear
There is no safe place for her
Scared to be home
Scared to be at school
Scared to leave her room
She puts on a fake smile
No control over her body
Fights with everyone
She doesn't want this anymore
She wants death to take this curse away
It's not a gift
She awaits death to take her
Though hoping to speed up the wait
She's done some stupid stuff
In the past 
But the future she dreams
A life not like this
Do you know who this girl is now
This girl
That awaits death to take the curse/gift away
Or the pain never to come back
To go towards the darkness
Away from earth
This girl is me
