The Cut

I cut.
Not a lot.
But I do.
A few cuts here.
A few there.

No one noticed.
No one cared
One day I had enough.
When my life was too rough.

I went into the ocean
Brought just me, a canoe, and a knife.
I cut,
Deep.
Until
I cut a vein.
Then I took my knife,
carved my suicide note into the canoe
Threw the knife into the ocean.
Said a few words.
And jumped,
At first
Fish came,
Then my arm stung
A shark came.
The blood gushed.
It went black,
Then white,
That's when I knew I succeeded.

One day she had enough.
She cut and cut.
No one had noticed, no one had cared.
But now she's in the ocean
And her parents can not rest
That girl had a wish.
That wish came true.
That day she was found in the ocean
Was the day she had flew.
