The Day

Do you sleep, while I'm awake?

I can't stop thinking about what happend that day.

The day that I thought I would've been done

Why did you have to save me?

 

Why didn't I do it sooner?

Why did I have to go through this grief again?

I just wanted to get rid of all the pain.

But you made me endure it more

I just wanted to go away, I want to disappear.

 

People don't understand me.

They just laugh, they bring me down to my lowest.

They say it was a joke, bit I could see right through them.

I could see their true intentions.

I wanted to fight back, but I know that I can't.

 

I know that if I do fight back, that would be a mistake.

It would be my biggest regret.

They tell me that it would be best if I just leave.

If I leave this school, home, or town.

Or better yet, this earth.

 

I let them get inside my head.

But you said to just let it go.

To just ignore them, I asked myself.

How can I ignore them?

The day I leave would be their greatest joy.

The day I can leave will be mine as well.

The thing about this free verse poem, is that I feel like this somethimes. But I know that I shouldn't kill myself, I can find a different alternative.
