Array ( [sid] => 79322 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Bruises [time] => 2005-01-10 17:59:16 [hometext] => This poem is not about me,or my experiences..its just something i find sad..and i wanted to let anyone who has been in a situation similar to this that there IS ALWAYS help out there,so dont give up! <3 [bodytext] => Once upon a time
There was a girl I knew
Everyone had met her
Maybe even you
This girl had a boyfriend
He wasn't very nice
He'd hit and scream and beat her
His eyes were cold as ice
She met him on a friday
And by monday afternoon
She thought he really loved her
Their anniversary in June
He always gave her presents
And saw her every day
But it started to turn weird
When things didn't go his way
He once had tried to hit her
When she went out with her friend
And whenever he'd feel sorry
Another flower he would send
She thought "it's for the best"
He only does it 'cause he cares
But with every bruise he gave her
She started to get scared
At first she tried to hide this
It wasn't very hard
But as the violence continued
Her whole body had been scarred
Whenever he felt mad
He would take it out on her
He was not afraid to yell
No matter where they were
People started wondering
About the bruises on her neck
And all her friends would ask her
Why she was such a wreck
She had to knod and smile
And say she was o.k
But no one really knew
That it got harder every day
Her only friend..the knife.
She'd let it crawl across her skin
And with every scar it left her
Another battle she would win
He'd done her too much damage
He'd inflicted too much pain
She was left with nothing
Not a single thing to gain
She had reached her limit
So sick of asking "why?"
With every breath she took
She knew she had to die
She went into the bathroom
Brought the gun up to her head
But before she pulled the trigger
Wondered what it's like to be dead
This girl was very stupid
She just didn't see
That there really is help out there
She could have been free
And so our story ends
With a girl in late June
She was found dead
On a monday afternoon.

Such a sad story. It's always sad, but seldom that simple. And it's "nod", not "knod." Long write though. Cheers!
