Love or Hate?

You dont like this world,
You dont want to stay,
Who am I to get in your way?
Todays the day,that dark short day,
She grabs the blade and runs away,
"I hate you!I do!Take me away!"
Her screams are loud but no one can hear.
You might get what you want by the end of the day.
You thought you could take it,thought you could make it,
You start to take the blade to your wrist
But pause with a sudden heed.
You know its wrong but who's here to care?
To destroy yourself is surrendering.
Are you really such a coward?
You may think different but I sure think so,
A fighter could've taken and handeled this inept life of yours.
Without second thought she slices her wrist.
Not to stop there she she writes a word in:
 
"LOVE"

Found in an alley on a cold Saturday night a hopeless beat
is heard,faint but aloud,a crying girl lay on the alley floor,
the crowd has gathered,Ambulance on the way,
attemp to destroy failed,Now arent you glad?How's the life now?
You thought it'd be smooth,easy like sleep.
Now thats not the case I asume now.
Here's your hint and I hope you now know,
Love was not your word I think you meant

"HATE"

bowing out gracelessly

you are right! it's the cowardly way out. anything that does not kill you,only makes you stronger.[that is if you learn a lesson from it.] life is full of hard knocks. there are people in this world that have it a lot harder. i'm sure that your friend thinks that she has it really tough. just keep being a friend to her and try to let her know that you care. tell her that you know us old folk on neopoet, and we all say that it gets better with time. we have been there and done that.there is nothing new in the world that at least one of us hasn't experienced.[not to make light of your friends problems]never! but tell her you and we care. GREAT SPELLING! great writing too! beauty is a matter of perception. gee.

Spellcheck........

Hey!Great job! I just made a spelling error in my last poem,after calling you out for the ones that you made. So I went back and erased my comment about your spelling. I really can't take you to task,when I am not setting a good example. Anyways good job,Anc.Gee.
