Tears
I feel as if
There is no
Room for anything more
In my body.
Is that why my tears are falling,
Escaping?
Why my nose is running?
Because all my emotions want to escape
But there is no way out.
Prison.
And I am the holder of the key.
Confusion. Sadness. Anger. Regret.
The only way out is through my tears
Falling
Like
Rain
On
A
Cold
Winter
Day.
I’m cold.
I can’t decide
Whether to be sad
Or to feel bad.
Do I have the right to cry,
When I barely knew a thing
About her?
Can I be sad
About someone who really
Made me mad?
Yet the tears fall and I am cold.
She is cold.
She was crying.
But no one knew.
She’s gone.
And one day we’ll all be gone, too.
RIP.

This poem was inspired by a girl who took her own life. We had never really gotten along, and this poem was how I let the guilt and pain I felt go. I barely knew her, and I sobbed my way through school the next few days, just like other people. I want people to know how scary it is to have known someone who committed suicide. If you think you aren't loved, see how many people's lives you have impacted. You are always loved by someone, even if you can't see it.
