I wake up each day
That's the start
My mind is in fray
Torn apart

A day of more school
Nothing's new
It's always so cruel
Always blue

I go through classes
Painful dread
Slow as molasses
I am dead

The school day finished
So tired
I feel diminished
Not wired

I get to my house
Why no end
My Mom starts to grouse
Starts to blend

I lay down in bed
No reprieve
The voice in my head
Makes me grieve

I pick up the blade
Hold it close
It has been forbade
Heals my woes

Against the right wrist
It belongs
I cannot resist
No more wrongs

The bright streak of red
Trickles down
Leaves stains on the bed
With a frown

This time no stopping
All the way
Until I'm dropping
No foul play

My parents burst in
Fall to floor
Sobs come from within
Can't take more

Hospital was called
There's no hope
The doctors appalled
Mom can't cope

Everything has changed
No relief
Mom's become deranged
Dad's in grief

Remember you're loved
Through and through
And although you're sad
You'll get through
