• I am from the real world
    while she lives in shadows
    her heart unnoticed
    her name unknown
    as she sits on her bed
    with a knife to her wrist
    she feels alone
    except for one friend
    she keeps her from the brink
    of suicide
    that friend is the only thing
    she can hold onto
    crying as she cuts deep in her arm
    she thinks of the pain
    that no one seems to see
    though her heart is in the right
    her life is in the wrong
    saved only from one thing
    keeping her from death
    the only one who keeps
    her from falling down again

    a friend
