She Wants Attention

She Wants Attention

A Poem by Life Inside Death

 

A smile on her face

She walks into the room

Those ice blue eyes

Pierce everyone’s flesh

Like the knives she uses alone…

 

What a shame

What a disgrace

Hiding the pain through bliss

They always run to alcohol

Drinking until sadness is no more…

 

And on the streets at 2AM

She’d wait for her life to find her.

Sex was all that kept her alive

To feel wanted and needed…

That’s all that ever mattered

Feeling beautiful

Through the eyes

Of her lovers,

She tried so hard

To make them happy

 

But from every smile

A frown is derived

Waiting to twist upon your face

As if it were a demon

And still she drank

And cut herself

And worked the city

As if nothing were wrong

Still hiding behind that sweet face

 

Only 14...her time wasn’t due

But life was created

And life was lost

Why was she punished

For wanting someone

To make her feel whole?

No matter the reasons

I know she left a mark

On my world:

My sister was a sweet girl…

Woahhh,
I found something I could totally relate too. For once...
Except... I'm 15, and I'm and my little sister's only 7...

I see what you were getting at, that's what happens when you run away from home, even if you're a guy. :[
It was good visionary, I think.

This could be the opening tale for how a superhero comes to be. It has this nice real edge twilight zone feel to it. Brutal like the Crow. How like a raven in love the voice...
