» Poem: I can't change my fate
I can't change my fate
written by suicide_penguin

I'm not here
I am no more
You'll find me lying
on the floor

You walk in
and see me there
you turn away
you cannot bear

The sight of me lying
cold and alone
sad and confused
lost from home

How did she do it?
you ask yourself why
Then you see the cuts
and begin to cry

Above the elbow
below the wrist
you can't see now
your eyes amist

Suddenly I'm there
I can see it all
all of my picutres
and plaques on the wall

And then you see it
clutched in my fingers
you pry them open
and there your eyes linger

There it is
a picture of
The one i'll miss
the one i love

You now hear voices
in the hall
you stand up
trying not to fall

This is your job
it's what you do
to tell everyone
the terrible news

Into the hall
i follow you
no one can see me
i'm hidden from view

You tell my parents
in the hall
and catch my sister
when she tries to fall

She breaks away
to get to me
to see her baby sister
in her last misery

You drag her away
prying her from me
you give her to my dad
and you let her be

I follow you back
into my room
to see whats next
what else you'll do

A few moments later
you see him for real
the guy from the picture
he cannot deal

I'm standing with him
at the door
trying to comfort him
but i can't anymore

I remember I'm gone
That I've left this place
then i turn to him
and look in his face

It's all there,
behind his eyes
how he's filling up
with pain inside

Oh my god
what have i done
how could i leave him
and take away his sun

I turn around
and what do i see?
The sad eyes of my sister
staring right through me

Then all of a sudden
it becomes very clear
how could i do this
and shed all these tears

They really do love me
I realized too late
now i can't change what happend
and I can't change my fate.
