Reed Dietiker Poems

Please open your eyes
I know you cant stand to hear the lies
...

So hard to breathe

Holding my breath because Im afraid you'll leave
...

The weak flame burns alone
Goes all night till the wax is gone
Slides down the side to make a dry puddle
The wind blows it out if the flame is dull
...

There once was a boy and a girl
At times they both felt lonely in the world
...

Holding back these tears of pain
So, scared I'll never be sane
...

My actions would've been the same
Im the problem, Im the reason to blame
...

Only one side of my brain is working
All of my nerves are twirking
My heartbeat is slowing down
My legs are weak, Im falling to the ground
...

I know its not easy
I know I may seem decieving
...

Surrounded by these four walls
Dying alone without any calls
...

Death is something we fear but know nothing about
We live our life surrounded by rules
...
