I tried
To be the best kid
To get good grades
To listen
To do as told
Not to cry
Not to slice a razors sharp tongue
roughly through my skinNot to wimper in pain
To be strong
Be skinny
Be pretty
To be "normal"
To fit in
To do art
a sport
extra things at schoolTo do extra credit
To please everyone
To be everything everyone wants me to be
I tried and I failed
•

•
I triedTo find that vanilla, laced rope
To grab a chair
Say my goodbyes as if someone cared
To tie a sturdy knot
To kick the chair when I was done
I tried but I failed
•

So,I went to my room
And I tried
And tried
And tried more
To be perfect
But when I continued to fail
I took a blade and a couple painkillers
Who's tongue was rough and something to end the pain
So I drank as many pills that filled my palms
And lightly pierced my wrist
But it was different this time
I didn't feel scared
I wasn't in pain
I didn't slide to the side
Or horizontal
No,
I slid straight up
And centimeters deep
The warm redness poured out of me...
I fell motionless
I cried silent
I bled quiet
I screamed for nothing
Because then
And only then
Had I realized
That for once
I had tried
And succeeded

I don't have to try anymore
