open eyes

open eyes

Open your eyes
Don't you see her in pain?
Don't you see the tears in her eyes that she's dying to hide?
No
You see that smile that's full of lies
You see a happy young girl when actually she wishes to die
You see her laugh out loud when actually she's wanting
to cry
Open your eyes
Don't you see that she's starting to get quieter?
Don't you see that her laughs starting to get milder?
No...
You don't see the nights where she screams in her pillow
You don't see the way she looks at razor blades
You don't see the blood that's spilling more and more..
You do see the ...lifeless girl looking peaceful in a casket
You do see her being buried far beneath the ground
Now your eyes are open
But it's too late
I now don't worry though
She's finally at peace
She is no longer in pain
I understand why
My eyes are open
She's finally free
And she is me

Jessica!  Yes, a very powerful write.  Many people don't see the agony, the depression, the desperation or loneliness of self-harmers.  They don't understand that it is a way to cope with stress, anxiety, substance abuse or pier pressure.  Suicide isn't the answer…getting help form someone who can really help is.

Excellent write!
