People Poem by Lauren Renee'

Stop the heartbeats
Thudding in your chest
Everyone take a seat
Know this isn’t a test

Everyone, sit and gaze
That’s all they seem to do
As we wander through this maze
Of emotions running through

Emotions leaving
Like blood in our veins
Cuts begin weaving
Leaving behind stains

People all see
But they believe
In the mask on me
So they all leave

The show is starting
She’s staring in the dark
Razor on wrist is darting
Leaving a fatal mark

Close and lock the door
Cannot let them see
He lets the blood pour
Allows his life to flee

People all around
Who are supposed to care
Do not make a sound
As I feel my skin tear
