Standing here,
but you don't see,
you walk right on
by.

Standing here,
looking at the
face in the mirror,
swollow those
pills,
just another ploy
for attention.

Laying here,
in the hospital bed,
hoping to die,
not caring who's
sad,
and who's left behind.

Standing here,
talking to my
guardian angel.
I'm scared,
and lonely in a world of
the past.

Standing here,
reliving my past,
thinking about my
future.

Laying here,
making the
conscious choice,
to live or
die.

Beeeeeeeeeeeep.

Before you read this, know this does not reflect my personal feelings. This is meerly a poem inspired by a play i watched today, and was truly inspired. The title of the play was The Girl In The Mirror. I hope you enjoy this one.
