PAIN

by Dakota Lynn Dove
(Chester, South Carolina, USA)

She walked the halls
Holding her wrist
Hiding her face
For no one to see
Crying and dying
But no one to care
She takes her knife
Without any fear
Cutting away all the tears
Adding more bracelets
To cover her pain

The rain was falling fast
The wind was blowing hard
That night she took the knife
And made her final scar
