My story

by Charlotte

When I was a little girl
Actually not That little
My favourite jewel, it was an Opal
Not anymore

I became sad and lonely
My jewel became a sapphire
Because blue is how I felt
Yet I didn't want my faith in life to whither, and tire

I always felt so sad
I always felt criticised
I started cutting myself
Everyone told me this wasn't wise

Whenever I thought about a future
Came the topic in my head
If I committed suicide what would they do
And I thought and thought about it, till I went to bed

I want to tell you now
That girl, she never changed
If you look at me now
You'll see that girl was never maimed
