You stole the gifts I gave to them
And ripped the rose right off the stem
You kill whatever you think holds beauty
And act as if destruction is your duty
Is that why you try to kill yourself, too?
Because your beautiful and that just won't do
Do you harm yourself because you're too alluring?
Or because your life is boring?
You scar yourself
Your body and mind
When you die I'm afraid what they'll find
What secrets they will unearth
Just know you're worth
More than you think you're worth
You're kind
Smart
Funny, too
I just wish you only knew
How much the world loves you

&quot;I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater.&quot; -SN

I like this piece. I thought that the transitions were really good. It has a lot of meaning in so little words.
