What do you guys think of this poem?
I wrote it about a friend. Please let me know what you think and don’t be afraid to be honest. And no I’m not depressed or emo :/
It Was Written All Over Him, Written In Red
First glance you take, you know something’s wrong.
Happiness is missing, his smile is gone.
You take a closer look- feel hurt by what’s there.
His eyes are empty, nobody cares.
As he walks away, you’re wondering, “Why?”
Anyone can see he’s dying inside.
Getting to know him becoming his friend,
Both you and him know he just wants it to end.
He showed you his secret, pulled up his sleeve.
You wish it weren’t true, he makes himself bleed.
If you ask him what’s wrong, he just looks away,
Makes an excuse- he had a bad day.
There’s more to the story, he wants to forget
All the pain, sadness, lies, and regret.
He finally decides to take his own life.
He goes to the drawer and pulls out a knife.
The next day you find out he’s dead.
You should have known- it was written all over him, written in red.
