Bad

I don't sleep
but no one knows.
I stay nice and quiet,
and pretend,
that I'm okay.

Today is bad
I feel bad....
gripping the ledge.
Don't let go,
don't let go,
don't let go.

Alone
inside my head.
Bad
its all so bad
i am bad.

I breathe
i breathe,
i slowly breathe.

I stay away from sharp
metal objects.

But still i hurt myself...

interesting, i like the tempo and the images that come to mind, the third stanza? i think thats right it's been a long time since i've written any poetry. reminds me of how life has gone all wrong for me and that somehow it's been all my fault. and with the last bit, i imagine staying away from that that hurts me, but i still manage to hurt my own feelings, but instead of dont' let go i keep the words just have faith running through th mind. i like this, got any more? if you want i'll share some of the stuff i've written if you would liek. just leave me a message and i'll go dig it out of the dusty box.

so sad, very sad words baddbaddgirl, a great poem, loved it, mmmmmm thank you for posting

Sometimes you have to wallow in the bad days....as long as you dont let go. There is nothing that cant be turned around eventually.

Beautiful emotions, poignant words.

Thanks bad
