Poems

Friend's I Finally Found:

I snap a hair tie on my wrist

I guess its better than making slits

My skin is red and very raw

So instead I try to draw

It never works

My mind is set

On the one thing that is the start of it all

Depression

It comes in huge waves

I'm drowning inside-struggling to get out of this one

My brain and heart cannot paddle any longer

Finally, I'm washed to shore

I hadn't been able to breath anymore

Just as I think the worst is over-I'm pulled in again

By something bigger-stronger

But this time, I realize, its not bad

Its clear water

Not the dirty gray water I once choked on-because I was all alone

But a bright blue water, with all my friends

That I finally found and will have forever

I take the hair tie off my wrist and put it in my hair-done forever with the slits

Things finally got better
