help...

she is jumping off a cliff and no one wants to save her
what can she do when she is just trapped... feeling no escape
she doesn't know which way is up... or even what she wants
just to be happy, just to smile, just to dream
doesn't like it here but is too afraid to leave
too afraid to leave it all behind, to forget her life
too many what if's? and how come's? to make sense of it all
she just wants someone to show her the way
cause it's dark and she's alone and she can't see
which way is the right way... which way does she go
she just needs help, someone to hear her screaming and tell her what to do
who to run to who to run to who to run to
just help.
she's frantic but will continue putting on a fucking show
if it makes others happy if it makes others happy
then she'll do what she can to make sure they are smiling
because her tears for their laughter is a worthy price
to give away her soul to save another
to give up her life so they shall live another day
she'll sit in silence sit in silence sit in silence
quietly calming herself to sleep
she doesn't care for false concern just wants someone who loves her
no matter what no matter what no matter what
just help.
she can't explain but she just feels so much pain
take it all away and help her stand again
you look at her and she smiling
but in her heart she's always crying...
how do you feel? the loaded question
no one really cares but to hear... "fine"
fine? just fine? why does no one ask what's wrong?
i'm fine. because i'm alive. i could be dead. but i'm not.
fine because i'm still breathing. fine because you looked at me.
fine because when i smashed the mirrors in the house
they didn't cut me deep enough to kill me
that's what fine is. have you ever heard "great"?
no. and you won't until i'm gone.
when i feel no more... then i'll be great.
just listen to me now... rambling on...
i'm sorry again that i wasted your time... smile
have a nice day... i'll still be here too weak to leave...

Great poem Melinda. You can really see the story in depth. And you're right. The people need to wake up, and treat everyone with the respect they need. It reminds me of one of my stories I've had, and one of the stories I know someone else is having at this time. Really good poem though!
