A/N- I wrote this poem when I was struggling with thoughts of self-harm and contemplating why I was alive. So this poem is more darker than the others. Just a warning before you get into it.

Far, far away

The start to a day

Is filled with tears

For many years

This girl has felt this way

Not only today

Her love is gone away

She sees the lovely flowers

Blooming in the showers

Of cool rain

But she cannot gain

Any happiness from their beauty anymore

She wishes the door

Of her life had never been opened, wishes she had never been born

Silently, she suffers every morn

Wondering, why give her life?

She now knows that life is strife

So why give her life?

Why give me life?

Yes, I am that girl

With a heart pure as a pearl

Oysters must go through pain to make pearls

That useless girls

Wear as jewelry, to show their riches

But my heart switches

From a lovely pure gem

Many people condemn

My broken heart, say, "What a liar, stop whining, you're fine."

This is where I draw the line

Once I ran a knife over my hand

Cursing myself, saying, "It would be grand

If only I had the courage to cut myself."

Then I snap, "Suit yourself!"

Foolish world, you want to change me, cruelly rearrange me

But I have the key

Just believe, that is all

Believe and you will not fall

Into darkness, such a fright

No, you'll glide into light

I glide smoothly, my wings beating

Because my breaths are quickly fleeting

If you see my tears, pass by me

Do you not see

The smile on my face

Now, I walk into the embrace

Of death, warm, sweet, unending

Before judgement bending

I see the tears of ones I love

My sweet ones, from above

Blessings I send, and love

Don't forget me, even though I'm gone

And you will, at the last dawn

See me and live with me forever

We will create ties no one can sever

Yes, we shall live together in paradise

And I will no longer wonder, why give me life

For although my life may be wrought with sadness and fear

I will say, in good cheer,

"I'm happy, because I

Will eventually go to my home in the sky

Where dawn and sunset lasts forever

And I will never

Stop loving you, nor you me

So, please, stop crying for me

I said, please, stop crying for me."

If you're sad, by all means cry for yourself

But you shouldn't cry for anyone else

I love you, I'll comfort you, and I'm here for you

And in paradise I'll renew

This love, this bond, this sweet repose

In paradise, it never slows
