Long Gone

Trudging along day by day

The cruelty just keeps coming

Name calling, fighting, torture

A shiver rolls down your spine

New scars appearing everyday

You try to keep the monsters at bay

But yet they keep resurfacing

Tears roll down your bloody cheeks

Body aching, mind racing

You pull the blade across your skin

And you watch it drip slowly

Slowly to the floor below

This is a daily routine in fact

But tomorrow will be different

The motions are put in play

You tug your sleeves down

Trying to hide your own pain

The clock ticks and strikes two

Rushing to the sidewalk

And across the street

You know it is there but you don't care

Tears flow down your face

As the car slams into your body

Flinging you across the way

And breaking every bone in your body

With all your might you manage one last thing

A smile, a simple smile

No more pain or cruelty

You shut your eyes as your vision fades

Into the dark and there you shall stay
