Dark Memories

by Lily Peet
(Silverwood, MI, USA)

A dark ring around my life
Nothing makes any sense
I start to cry
My body tense

Walking around with a smile
But its fake
I'm hurt and alone
My life is a black lake

Dark memories of my past
Wished it would just go away
Curled up in a corner
Crying in an never ending way

As I wipe the tears away
I have another flashback
Knife to my throat
The last self attack...
