*The Final Chapter* (8)

You can read her life from her tender wrists The jagged burgundy marks Tell a never-ending story, And if you look closer You can see a calendar Of past days she set aside to end the story You can see scores and results from matches The doctors always tend to win The blood, The perfect biography The bloodline of her family All the people she wishes she'd miss, She sinks her long nails down Deep down into last Tuesday The day her boyfriend dumped her Substituting heartache for pain Maybe today for even more She drags the sharp blade across her pale skin Sshhh, if your quiet you can hear it …No you weren't quiet enough But I know you heard the thump As her body plummets to the floor Gravity the only thing she can depend on You can read from her lifeless body The story has ended The blood forms a red full stop Don't call an ambulance, Today bring a Hurst.

Like the form of the poem , I pary that the issues will be resolved in those that do harm to their bodies,my heart goes out to all who do.I wish I could help someone stop this harming themselves.what could i do to help? i wish I could do that for all.that is God who can though.I wrote a Poem for all who harm themselves and I would that everyone can read it the tyitle of it is:"To All Who Will" .I do like your ability to bring this reality to view and life through your poetic works. You are a good poet!

thanx,this poem came from me getting a bad comment on another board that basically said I didnt know how to write a poem my poems were more like entries...so i decided to write a poem that was my imagination through and through with metaphores and similies that could stimulate just about every sense that a reader could have,and this is what came out,tnx again for the comments lol
