Cathartic Desi Williams
She never broke the skin before
Was too scared to feel the searing
Rubber bands, safety pins, paper clips
Provided the dull awakening to keep her going
Just for a little while
Her love couldn't burn on her wrist
It jumped and bit like a rabid beast
No.
Now she lies there
Chocolate tresses splaying out acrosst her pillow
Glaciers of blue peering
From rivers of depression
A silver blade of hope
Caresses her wrist
Fondles the vein
Kisses the blood
Memories play slowly and deftly
Through her head
Of her love, her best friends
Her family
Her hate, and despair
Her religion
The symbol forms itself on her arm
And she smiles.
Good night, sweet raptured life

"WOW! I hope you are o.k. Everyone feels alone many times in their life, so you are not really alone. You are only 14 years old and you have your whole life ahead of you. Look on the bright side, you are an excellent poet. Always remember this." -- nick marshburn.
"I'm with nick here, much to live for indead desi. U know u can email me whenever you want :) if u need an ear to borrow, a shoulder to cry on, or a world to borrow, you can borrow all of these things. Kind Regards, Josh. P.S. GREAT poem ;)" -- Josh / Axey.
"The only good line was "good night sweet raptured life", and thats from an evanescence song " -- g.
"I agree with Nick and Josh, not at all with G. Hope everything is okay and that images in your poetry are more metaphorical or exaggerated than in truth. 14 may seem young for these feelings but it is actually the time when these thoughts and feelings are the strongest as no one’s mind interprets things like a teenager (believe me I should know lol). Great poem :):)" -- Rebecca Tantos.
"hey,I agree with Nick,Josh and Rebecca on this one mainly because I have a daughter that's only a year younger than you are.Life is a frail and precious thing.A gift to be treasured and I pray to God if my little girl ever felt like this.I hope she would at least confide in her dad.Take them up on their offer if you need somebody to talk to.Their good people." -- Brian L.
"Yeah. I'm okay. Thank you guys for caring so much. It really helps when people who don't even know me are willing to stick up for me and fight with me. Brian, I promise I would always confide in my dad, and mom, for that matter. You are so right, Rebecca. Josh, you're a wonderful person and thank you for the great amount of warmth you've bestowed upon me in the little time we've known each other. Nick, what you say is true and I appreciate it. I have a lot going on in my mind and heart but I know I would keep on living. I give you my word. Love and peace to all." -- Desi.
"Hey Desi Awsome job! i think we are going through the same thing correct me if im wrong but i am here for you email plz late2rhyme@yahoo.com" -- Rachel AKA Spyder.
"If this poem was written with the only intention of disturbing the reader, then u r awesome Desi." -- Alvin.
"Was that an insult Alvin?" -- Desi.
