Hello.
Out there.
It's nice
To meet
The one
That I
Have always
loved.
---
Hello,
Again.
I just
Was thinking
'bout the
way they
talk.
Don't
you think
they might
be talking
about
you?
---
Hello.
Sweet thing.
I was just
thinking
about the way
you look.
I know
you want
to be pretty.
So let
me offer
some friendly
advice.
---
Hello,
My love.
I don't think
you should
be eating
that.
I thought
you said
you wanted
to be
pretty?
---
Hello
Dearest one.
I know
You're scared.
But please
Just trust
Me.
I'm only
Here to
Help.
---
Hello
Princess
I thought
You trusted
Me.
So why
Do you
Take those
Pills to
Try and
Block me
Out?
---
Hello
Poor baby.
Why do
you listen
To your
Friends?
They said you're
Depressed?
Anorexic?
Suicidal?
They say
That they
Can help?
Ridiculous!
They don't
Want to
Help.
They just
Want to
Keep us
Apart.

Hello
My girl.
Do you know?
You've gained
So much weight
Since you stopped
listening to me.
You need
to pay attention.
You need
to stop eating.
You need
to stop thinking
You're okay.
---
Hello
My friend
It's me
Again.
Don't you
Pretend
That you
Don't know
I'm here.
---
Hello...
---
---
Hello
My pet
Yeah,
It's me.
I wanted
To say
I'm sorry
For all
I put
You through.
...
And now
That I've said it,
And gotten
It off
My chest.
And now
That you're
On the floor
With your knife
and your note
and your broken heart,
Sadly now,
I must say
Good-bye.

PoetryUPDATE: I wrote these when I was 13 and depressed all the time. I'm 18 now, and, fortunately, life's been going well! Unfortunately, these poems are fairly cringe, so read at your own risk. Just some poems that I write when I'm in the poetic mood...
