*she Poem by Lechelle Jones (01.24.91,D.C)

She's alone half the time
No one sees the danger and pain seekin from behind her eyes

She sits and cries half the time about her love that cheats and lies. the pain gets so deep inside she wants to die

She smiles as if she's happy
So she smiles to hide the pain
Family's gone
Two miscarriges
Feels her life will never be the same

People wonder what's her issue but don't care enough to ask.
She can never be herself because emotions cause her to where a mask.

She hides the scars
So she hides the truth
She thinks a knife may make it easier to escape
But then the knife won't do

who is this girl who lays in misery u ask
this girls can be your closest friend, your girl, your sister or your mother
but her pain u shall never discover
until u stop being so selfish and look into her heart
ask her whats the matter, take time to help heal her scars
please take the time or else it may be too late...shes a beautiful disturbed girl but your actions can choose her fate.
