Array ( [sid] => 36232 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => she dreams of death [time] => 2004-02-25 01:29:51 [hometext] => [bodytext] => she takes the pills
she falls asleep
tries to escape
from everything

she runs away
yet gets nowhere
only remains
within her cell

she screams for help
they call it "angst"
"attention-seeking
teenage behavior"

just another typical teen

she cuts herself
where they can't see
she cries and bleeds
still feels nothing

watches the blood
run down her thigh
her hidden cuts
bring little peace

running her fingers
across her scars
she smiles through tears
and dreams of death

they look at her
and see nothing
in the mirror
she sees the same

she takes the pills
and falls asleep
wants to escape
from everything

she dreams of death
and inside she smiles
she took too much
and she's not dreaming anymore [comments] => 6 [counter] => 711 [topic] => 36 [informant] => Cancer [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Suicide )

If I say/type anything beyond the polite and mundane, I'm going to start babbling and chattering and rambling and gushing and basically end up saying far more than I planned to about this.

So . . .

Nice job, Cancer. Good imagery; a little simpler than usual. I liked it a lot. Hope to see more from you in the future.

SCARS OF THE HEART CAN HIT YOU PRETTY HARD! LIFE DOES SUCK IN MANY WAYS!! I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL & THE PAIN YOU'RE GOING THROUGH!!! DON'T GIVE
MISERY THE SATISFACTION BY MAKING YOUR SELF ITS MAIN ATTRACTION!!!! IF YOU GOT THE GUTS TO WRITE & POST,YOU
SHOULD HAVE THE GUTS TO TELL IT TO F-OFF!!!!! THE BIGGEST THIN I GET FROM YOUR POEM,IS THE FACT YOU WRITE WELL & HAVE ENDLESS STRENGTH!!!!!!
DAN!!!!!!!

someone asked my why I 'encouraged' your poetry its easy to see why here this was bloody brilliant. Nobody can capture emotion, thoughts, or social issues as well as you. This was just aching with pure heart ache. I felt it a brilliant write. You deserve 'props'... or something like that. *Glances around oddly*

I agree with Bobo and laugh at loveisendless. You capture emotion very well, and yes, just a bit more simple then usual. Excellent work.

Poor girl. In a world with six billion people, it's amazing that it's still difficult to find someone to talk to about our deepest problems. She dreams of death because she is lonely. When we seek death I belive it's because our souls feel they have no mates on this earth and seek them elsewhere.
