The Blade

The boy she loves is ignoring her
Her best friend hates her
The only man in her life just left
Every one of her siblings is acting like she's invisible
Her mom is laying depressed on the couch
One of her favorite teachers just suspended her
The only person who knew about the cuts is now gone
She can't even trust her own thoughts
Every single one of her classmates is bullying her
The only person who she cared about is now taken from her
Her little sister was taken to a foster home
Three of her brothers were taken by the law
The other one of her brothers that isn't pretending she's invisible is dead
Her father is in Cali with his other family
And all she has now is the blade
The blade that now reeks of blood
Her arms are scarred up and down
The rust collored blood now stains her sleeves
As she tries hide them, one day she doesn't
She goes to school and let's everyone see the cuts
Everyone stares and keeps away from her
One kid brushes against her arm
Tears swell up in her eyes
When the counselor asks why she cuts
She says "The blade is all I have left"
