6 ways I could try to get their attention

Folder: 
2004

I could bang my head against a wall

but that would not help me at all

I could cut my skin and leave scars

but even that wouldn't get me very far

I could dig my nails deep into my arm

but not one person would it even alarm

I could overdose on a bottle of pills

but just thinking about it gives me chills

I could take a knife and I could cut my wrists

but I really never wanted it to come to this

I could jump out my window through the glass

but thinking it through I really want to pass

I really don't want to die and kill myself

all I really wanted to do was get some help

but no one noticed no one was alarmed by this

the point of everything everyone seemed to miss

they thought I was doing it for attention I guess

all of my thoughts and feelings I did surpress

but now that I have you this will never happen again

cause I know through it all I have you my lover and friend

I love this poem. So much emotion is depicted in it.
I have overdosed on Tylenol Extra Strength (the strongest and most dangerous pill to overdose on). It's a scary thing...also it sucks when you are stuck in the hospital for 6 hours with IV's stuck all over your arms, drinking charcoal about 6 times, etc. They wouldn't let me sleep, because they thought I would go into a coma.
I've slit my wrists for about 2 years.
Well anyway...it's a great poem showing some strong emotions! Keep up the great work!

I like this. It makes a point that most have felt at some point.
