A Nothing Once Again

Tears streaming
Blood flowing, dripping
Into the white sink.
Look at her,
In the mirror.

Who is she?
She’s pale,
Unwanted
Unloved.

Who is she?
She’s sad,
Crying
Bleeding.

All she wanted
Was for someone
To love her.

She fell
Off that bridge
Thinking its over
She will be
Free,
From all the pain and hurt
She feels.

Into the water I go
Splash.
Down, down, down
Into the deeper and darker places.

I see a light
I follow the light.

In the paper,
The next day:
“Young girl ends her life
Falling off a bridge.
Have not found the body.
Sorry to her family members.”

Then that story of her death dies away.
She’s a nothing once again.
