Me Poem by Taylor Ingram

Me



As my tears fall,
So does the blood on my thighs,
I cant stop this,
Im flickering the blade around in my fingers,
Holding my head up high,
The tears rolling down my face,
So much pain in the air,
I clear my throat,
I can see fear in my eyes,
I can feel it in my fingers,
I can feel it in every bone in my body,
I just lay there,
Lifeless,
If i shall die tonight,
Lets raise a glass, For the last time,
For this blade has never looked so soft,
No more sun, No more dreams, Whats life if you cant dream?
I tell people Im tired,
But im actually depressed,
I tell people ill be fine tomorrow,
But i know, Tomorrow will be worst,
Im losing my mind, and the sad thing is, i know it,
Im slowly giving in to the demon inside my head,
Every cut, Every slice, its just getting stronger,
The urge.
They're getting deeper,
To be honest,
I just want to slice up my whole body,
I just want to be free from this on-going nightmare,
I dont know how i got here in the first place,
I cant even remember what its like to be happy anymore,
When my eyes aren't sore from crying,
Or where i dont have to cover up who i am,
I want to feel normal again.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I have been struggling from depression for quite a while now, and it has effected not only me but everyone around me,
Recently my bestfriends parents said she wasnt allowed to see me anymore,
It triggered me alot. I just have break downs all the time.
And this poem, Its what i do and what i think.
Im only 14, but i do believe i have had to grow up alot quicker than most kids,
My parents split up when i was little,
I remember them fighting, and me sitting around a corner crying my eyes out, It scarred me mentally, and now physically.
My dad is an alcoholic and a drug dealer,
I have seen him hit women, i see him deal every day.
Its not like i can just cut him off from my life, After all he is my father right?
But i wish i could.

My Mum, brother and i moved alot when i was growing up,
I never really had a stable home, My mum worked all the time and never really had time for me or my brother, that impacted on us alot, My brother now has anger problems, and lashes out alot.

I Like writing as it brings out all my feelings that i cant quite say to people.
