"I never planned on living

To see thirteen.

Each night I slept

Dreaming of never

Ever waking up,

Measuring my life

In suicide notes

And leaving scars to

Keep score.

I tried to live

Then I tried to die;

Neither really worked out for me.

A twelve year old girl

Make up smudged

And heart all-too-used

To feeling broken,

Not trying to rhyme

Because she desperately wants

The confidence to rebel

Against part of the

Everything that hurt her

So badly.

Mine isn't a story

Of on-wards and upwards-

I try

But it just doesn't

Work like that.

Life still hurts me

But it's still

Worth a shot

I guess

I hope.

I never planned on living

To see thirteen.

I turn fourteen

Next April."
