Never cared to question why.

Never free, born to die.

A life that rots into decay,

A boy with eyes that won't see another day.

Starved and deprived of all he loves,

He yearns to die, and so he does....



Sweet was the life she once knew.

Swept up in love, raped by one untrue.

Eyes full of sorrow, a body full of pain.

Into the night she stumbles, soaked in the rain.

Wishing for it all to end, she offers her life.

Wishing for an easy way, she is given the knife....



Know that this pain is real, yet it hides inside.

Our smiles are a facade, our only disguise.

Marked upon our bodies, wounds we hate to feel.

Etched into eternity, our scars will never heal.

So we take this life, we feel so undeserving.

We take this life, we end the suffering....
Pretty self-explanatory. It's from the view point of a boy and girl who have both experienced a troubling situation in their lives and in the end they seek an escape through suicide. I made this poem last year when I went through a very rough patch in my life (dealing with a breakup, a new bad girlfriend, and other personal troubles). It signifies that we all have true pain in our hearts and sometimes it gets to the point where we would rather end it than live through it.
