Kasey

Little Kasey is 13 years old
She's trying to figure out her life
It seems as though her life sucks
She's always in a fight

Her mom is an alcoholic
Her step-dad dad abuses
She always ends up goin to school
With a bunch of bruises

She cuts to relieve the pain
Her arms are filled with scars
She'll never know what happiness is
She'll never know what true friends are

All her friends left her
Said she'd run out of luck
Then those bitches went and told
The whole school that she cuts

She's failing almost every class
Teachers say she's hanging on by a limb
She ditches and some times skips
Never participates in gym

Kasey is running out of ideas
Of what to do with her life
So, one day she went up in her room
With a sharp knife............

I wrote this poem about my friend Kasey before I met her this year. She attempted suicide 3 times.
I showed her the poem and she said she loved it and that it was the only time someone understood her.
