Trying for an Escape; Trying for a Sin


Oh she jumped,
Awaiting the repercussions,
And when they didn’t come,
She went numb.

And so that Angel
Was cast aside,
Done nothing
And so she cried.

Here was the little girl,
Oh so vulnerable,
Wounds open wide
And stitches undone.

She took in her spirit
The smoke that would kill her,
And prayed to a God
She knew would not
Forgive her.

On and on,
She lost herself.
What was she to do
With this heaven turned hell?

So she backed into a wall,
Gave giving up her all,
And when she was no more,
Numb and slowly
Rotting to the core…

She cried to the world,
Sense of security stolen,
And so very tired.

My name is Kimberly. I'm 19, and I found this website while looking for scholarship sites. I write poetry, obviously, and most of it tends to be dark. I write better when pulling from bad memories and such.
