Day After Day Poem by Brooke Boulanger

day after day
I live the same life
day after day
i dream about taking a knife
and plunging it through my chest
lying my mind down to rest

day after day
I wonder what they would say
Would they care?
If i were to leave or to stay
would anyone even shed a tear?
the answer i know.
the answer i fear..

Just put on a fake smile
a pathetic attempt
to pretend your okay
I tell myself over and over
day after day

the truth is
I can't, I WON'T let them see
the miserable wreck that has become of me
I'm sick!
I'm tired!
I'm not a happy person
not anymore..

Day after day
I live the same life
day after day
I dream about taking a knife
and plunging it through my chest
lying my mind down to finally.....
rest
