My name is Danielle. I am 35 yrs old and have been writing poetry since I was about 16. I got into writing because I loved reading the poems found in the obituaries (weird right?) Anyway, I wanted to write poems like that but my mind wandered in a different direction. I started writing about death and suicide and it stuck. I have tried other forms and nothing fits. So this is what you get.

Reality

You think I'm happy and I guess that's cool
I make you believe I'm living life to the full
Always making it seem like nothing is in my way
Holding on to all my hopes and dreams
I get lost in my day dreams and zone out all the time
My life is...

I want to go home

Days like this I wish to disappear
To be part of something so much more
This life I live is not for me

The peace of it makes me feel at rest
So much so I've contemplated...

Better me

It's funny to me how you feel like you can control me
In all reality you are nothing to me!
Why do you feel the need to cut me down so badly?
If you hate me that much then fucking leave me!
Does it make you feel good when you make fun of me?

Burnt out

Another day, another heartache
Why can't I just make it through one day without feeling all this pain?
I really don't think I'm that bad of a person
But maybe just maybe I don't see what everyone else sees
Maybe I am just a body taking up space

Irrelevant

I'm drowning in emotion
Trying to hide what I can
As each day passes it becomes harder to stand!
What is wrong with me?
I'm hated by all
My life is a wrecking ball
Just when I think I'm getting back on track
Something pushes me 8 steps back
