I am a girl
Who knows this other girl
She lives in another world
I think we resemble
But yet
She is a little disassembled
It's a slur when she talks
It's a blur when she walks
She stays inside and she writes all

night
Until life is no more

She put a knife to her heart
It left a scar
Kinda in the shape of a star
I asked her why she did it
She stopped and admitted
She prayed to God for the sins she committed
She cried
And cried
Because she hides
Whats inside ..

Whenever she wrote
She said the words had spoke
And they told her in such vulgar
That hate & lust was a must
So when she opens her mouth there is no sound
And when she opens her eyes there is no life
There's only black & white
Just her & the sky
It's always dark in our hearts
And I wonder why..

I just went into a very inner part of myself that people don't usually know. I just wrote the things I was feeling at the time.I hope it touches or inspires someone!

Great poem!! The picture you chose made it even better. I loved all the details that made it dark and fearful, it was definitely chilling. I would suggest changing the word 'kinda' because it seems a bit like slang, but other wise, love it!

Hi! Wow, I love this! It's so raw, so emotional. It's "dark and twisty" (hopefully you're a Grey's Anatomy fan.) The rhythm of it is intiguing. I love the way that the language is very simple - there's nothing fancy in it (in terms of big words, I mean!), and it shows the power in a simply worded poem. Great, great job!!

Very touched right now by this song. Defitnitely continue to write pieces like this. I enjoyed reading it. I love the title and the rythm to it. 3rd or so stanza is the best. I think anyone, regardless of gender, can relate to this song. It's very universal with its message and theme.
