Broken Life Poem by An Angel Without Wings

This poem is about one of my best friends who has struggled with this cruelty her entire life. Most of this is true from her past, although she has not killed herself she has often thought about it.....



Beaten, broken, crying tears
Wishing, wanting this to end
The pain, the fear of sixteen years
Beating down upon your head

At night you bleed
At night you cry
Wishing, wanting
Just to die

She screams and shouts
And calls you names
'Worthless, selfish'
You'll never be the same

Threats of suicide you make
She laughs and smiles
And throws you hard
Against the tiles

You're bleeding, bruised
But stand up strong
She glares and yells
But you stay strong

She laughs again
And walks away
Your strength is fading
You start to sway

You try to stumble
Through your door
So you can be in
Peace once more

You find your razor
Shining bright
And cut out tears
The pale moonlight

Tears of blood
Stream down your arm
Wanting peace
Without harm

Tomorrow dad will
Find you there
Asleep in blood
And matted hair

Today you will be
Laid to rest
A peace, a love...
That is the best
