I must admit that I have often thought <br />of leaving it all behind and letting everything go <br /> <br />I was lost and alone, as I always am, <br />So many people around me, <br />Yet no one seems to care. <br /> <br />They say they understand and love me very much, <br />But just when I Trust to love, they forget and move on. <br /> <br />I held the knife so close <br />as tears, mixed with blood, <br />Began to fall slowly. <br />Like a foolish child I cried. <br /> <br />Knowing that I could end it all now <br />made my mind draw a blank. <br /> <br />I put the knife away and tried to wipe the blood, <br />that ran faster than I can describe. <br /> <br />I knew suicide wasn't the answer I was looking for. <br />I knew there was a reason for me being alone. <br /> <br />So many bad things happening at once - <br />They can make you forget <br />About the good qualities of life. <br /> <br />Even though life is hard, <br />and trouble an inevitable part of it. <br /> <br />If you decide to leave it all behind, <br />maybe you will, <br />but I can guarantee that others <br />....Your Mistake will haunt<br /><br />Danielle Arsuaga<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mistake-3/
