Just another girl

Alone, forgotten, in the shadows

When she jumps off the roof

she won't be remembered as the girl who never tried

the girl who preferred being reclusive to the outside world

she'll be remembered as the girl

they wished to give a chance to

now it plays in their mind

if they tried

maybe she would've taken a step back

from jumping

from hurting herself

hurting others

consequences must be a trail to everyone's imperfection

a life lesson to what's truly important and beneficial to everyone

those moments of grace

where stars seemed to sigh

the silence cried louder

she hears more sounds though

she hears love and hope

but she fears it

she fears the pain

To cause it, to confront it

But also to feel it.

Before she jumped

it was a world of indictive hope

a fragile understanding of being

but now she jumped

there's a legacy that swirls

it's a world where she no longer exists

she's more than just a girl;

she's the essence of the worlds

learning from

death

Death, as a new beginning

the end of something old~

    Love never loses. No matter how much we fear the world that has become harsh, no matter how much we tremble at the overwhelming death, no matter how much we beg for isolation, at some point we will take the leap towards the sun and forgive everything. Very good!

    Heavy writing, but deeply honest. The music matches very well too. I really love this kind of writing, it reaches deep into the reader. Platitudes like "it gets better" and "stay strong" don't really do much, but if you are in a bad place, you aren't alone. Truly. :) โ™ฅ๏ธ

    this is so sad.

  • I wish I can jump just like her. I'm so sorry if your poem reflects how you feel. Sending you lots of love and hugs โค๏ธ

    An all-too-plausible scenario, as easy as it is painful to imagine! The music echoes and amplifies your work perfectly!
