Am I pretty now?

Am I Pretty Now
- Written by Baljit Bamrah

Here comes the ugly one
Looking sad and wearing black
Those stupid fuc*ing preps all laugh
Because she looks so fat

Trying to ignore the comments
She walks, looking at the floor
Since she doesn't say a word
They shout more ugly words

The jocks throw their footballs at her
And the anorexic sluts just laugh
She's teased in science,
she teased in english
She's even teased in math

Everyday, the same routine,
She runs into her room and cries
She thinks that no one cares
If she just curled up and died

Then one day after normal teasing,
She finally had enough
She couldn't handle all their teasing
And other stupid stuff

She grabbed some lipstickand put it on her lips
She grabbed her long black skirt
And then started to rip

At the corner of her eye
She spotted a pointy blade
She slashed her wrists until Her vision started to fade

Suddenly, she fell
Collapsing on a towel
The words carved in her wrists read,
Am I Pretty Now?

  1. Excellent man..simply awesome...

    I am adding up sumthing frm my side.A boy's perspective.

    A lost and lonely boy
    who sheds a single tear
    thinking he has no purpose in life
    & everything to fear

    friends don't really care
    he doesn't value life
    never anyone there
    to help him with his strife

    tripping over problems
    all throughout the day
    if only there was someone
    to help him on his way

    A single friend in life
    that really truly cares
    but no one is found
    at his fragile heart it tears

    A sad and lonely life he lives
    so he sits in the corner and cries
    cuts his arms a little
    and wishes he would die

    now his frail body
    lies limp and dead on the floor
    A pool of blood beneath his
    In his misery no more

    So listen to me my dear
    I'm trying to make you see
    for that boy in the corner
    that lonely boy is me......

Setting You Free

In the shadows of fear, I dwelled for years. Afraid to love, consumed by my tears. But then you appeared like an angel in need. And I found ...
