Picture



I'm gonna draw a picture,
A picture with a twist.

I'll draw it with a razor blade,
I'll draw it on my wrist.

When I draw this picture,
A fountain will appear.

As this fountain flows, washing away my sorrow, washing away my fear,
My pain will disappear.

About this poem

This was a time in my life when I was really low, my home life was terrible, and I was contemplating means to unalive myself. I found poetry at school and dove into it headfirst. I originally posted this on Poetry.com when I was 12.
