Can you see behind the cuts on my skin? <br />Can you see what my body holds within? <br />Can you see beyond the burns on my face? <br />Why I live my life in such disgrace? <br /> <br />Do you know why I feel this way? <br />Experiencing nightmares during the day? <br />Do you care that I wanted to die? <br />Will you miss me; remember me, or even cry? <br /> <br />Or will you forget my legacy? <br />And decide to move on quickly. <br />Thought of as the normal suicide, <br />Not knowing all the nights I cried. <br /> <br />Cause of death; Self Inflicted Wound <br />Exiting from a life marooned. <br />Marking me down as another statistic, <br />Thinking recent actions were uncharacteristic. <br /> <br />Add me to your stupid list, <br />Let me enter my fiery bliss, <br />Move on with your own pathetic life, <br />Go home and screw your pathetic wife. <br /> <br />Just know this; remember one last thought, <br />Life is all I wanted; love is all I sought. <br />Remember me or remember me not, <br />Please leave my graveside and let me rot.<br /><br />J R Reynolds<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/objects-in-mirror-are-more-painful-than-they-appear/
