Thank You Friends
23-01-11

She's tired of being alone;
Of not having that someone
Who loves her despite the scars,
Loves her despite her past,
Loves her beyond the outside, the cover.
She's tired of not getting flowers
From someone who loves her enough
To buy them, even if there is no 'occasion' to celebrate.



She's tired of having no money;
Of always having to beg
Despite her parents' embarrassment.
She wants to be able to buy her dog a bed,
Buy herself groceries,
But her family cannot afford it
And neither can she – unless
She sells cushions
Or someone needs proofreading.



She's tired of having to beg
Her online friends
From other countries,
But she needs to.
Do you know how that hurts her pride?
K.O – her pride lies on the floor,
Probably dead not just knocked to the ground.



She's tired of being the family problem.
But she has a dog depending on her survival
So she will not leave this world
Until it is her time.
She will not listen to the voices shouting,
"Cut" "Burn" "Kill"...
Even though ignoring them is sapping her strength.



She's just tired of everything,
But in the tiredness and racoon eyes
She can still say:
Thank you friends, I love you.
I'm so tired of begging, but I have to.

And to those of you who have donated, a huge thank you.

well I am big on poetry, I don't understand everyones fuss on this because honestly it sounds like asking for pity more than a work of art. Don't want to hate, poetry is a release always, but i don't understand everyones fuss it's far from outstanding.
