Hope Elizabeth Poems

I ORIGINALLY WROTE THIS POEM IN 5TH GRADE AS A JOURNAL ENTRY. IT IS REVISED AND ALSO WHEN I WROTE THIS, I REALLY DID FEEL THIS WAY. THIS POEM IS DEDICATED TO ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD WHO ARE SUICIDAL\DEPRESSED. DEPRESSION IS not SOMETHING ANYONE SHOULD TAKE LIGHTLY. FEEL BETTER SOON.

Anger at the world…anger at the world
Nobody but me understands me
...

The silence of the street
The airless atmosphere
The onset of a spray of light
Marks the completion of the previous night
...

Sometimes I want to scream
I want to be set free
I used to cry out and yell
So my problems would fall
...

A girl sits on the street edge crying
A boy weeping in pain because he knows he's dying
The silent hero is left to ponder
If what he's doing a big enough wonder
...

He says, she says
I know you
He says, she says
Sky is blue
...

I was shot four times
Bullet hit my spine
Mind went blank, 'Heaven please wait'
I fought so hard, I didn't want to die
...

Life is hard for me, living especially
Blood shed street after street
People survive with thugs, guns, and knives
Wanna get somewhere, but ain't goin nowhere
...

She closes her eyes
Wanting to escape
This God-awful fate that was destined for her
The place she lives in, the air she inhales
...

Perception-do you see me?
I don't think you do
It's so easy to fake through everything that you think I want to do
Rationalization-does it make sense?
...

It burns
It stays
It never goes away
...
