As she sits in the bathroom, with a razor blade to her wrist. <br />Tears streaming out of her eyes, and she slowy clenches her fist. <br />She tries to hide the pain inside, but cannot seem to get away. <br />From anything and anyone, fighting the pain each day. <br />From her father who made her feel oh so small, <br />and she felt she had no one, no one to catch her fall. <br />She felt like she was falling from a tower, slowly on her way to death. <br />She started abusing alchohol, abusing crystal meth. <br />She thought taking her own life was the only way out. <br />She cannot stand the fighting, no one can her cry for help. <br />Her father would belittle her, call her names, beat her until she finally caught a breath. <br />The night he beat her so bad, she ran to her only option, her stash of crystal meth. <br />Why oh why wont anyone help this girl in need, <br />as she closes her eyes, cuts herself, making herself bleed. <br />She wants to get better, she wants to accomplish her dream. <br />But all she hears is her drunken father always scream. <br />Scream her name to come downstairs, that is her fault he suffers in life. <br />After those cruel words she sat there with the knife. <br />she couldnt use the knife, couldnt bring herself to do it. <br />She started going crazy, screaming, throwing a fit. <br />She grabbed a rope from the garage and tied it around the shower pole. <br />She tied the other end around her neck, no one could stop her, show her the light, nor play a role. <br />She killed herself that very night, october the first. <br />Her father started on her little sister after, making things only worse. <br />Her big sister was watching over her, protecting her little sisters dear life. <br />Making sure that she would never pick up that same knife. <br />Faith made sure she haunted her father to his grave, <br />and her younger sister Hope, was the one she had saved.<br /><br />Ashley Morrison<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hiding-herself/
