The bad times
Will always come and go
And still you
Keep your head low
Think ahead
Twenty years from now
Will doing it
Make you proud?
Would you rather say
To someone you meet,
“I cut myself every night
Until I fall alseep”?
Or would you rather smile
And tell them,
“I was depressed
But then I got over it”?
Yeah, so it’s addictive
I’m sure
But don’t tell me
That there’s not a cure
It’s all in your mind
So it can’t control you
You’re too good
To let it have a hold on you
It’s mental, not physical
Please get some help
If it’s ruining your life
Don’t keep it to yourself
But maybe if you change
Your attitude
You won’t be dependant
And it’ll be over soon
Now, don’t go rolling
Your eyes at me
I’m not telling you to smile
When you feel like crying
I’m just saying if you look
At the good things you have
Maybe the bad things
Won’t seem so…well, bad
And compare yourself
To people who are starving
Someone with no family
Or someone living on the streets
You have food in your stomach
A roof over your head
So don’t make a “broken heart”
Be the cause of your death
You were put on this earth
For a reason
I won’t get philisophical
I don’t know what you believe in
But you weren’t born
To die this way
Your time will come
Meanwhile, please stay
Your life means something
I believe this strongly
And if you ever need to talk
Simply tag me
I’ll help you through
Because that’s what I’m here for
I hope that this poem
Has opened some doors

I don't like those two stanza's. If you take them out the poem flows better. It's REALLY GOOD though and since I'm against cutting it might be bias. But you get a 4 ^_^ |

| I felt there were a few parts that could maybe have been left out but it is still very nice work. I am a former cutter and have friends that still are, it is very hard to get through to someone when they are in they state of mind and I think every little bit helps |

| Personally I liked the poem, you stayed on the message and for the most part (not the whole thing, though) it was positive. Good writing. |
