Array ( [sid] => 169403 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Because of You [time] => 2011-12-18 10:02:38 [hometext] => I got the inspiration of this from the song Because of You by Kelly Clarkson. The poem is about a 14 year old girl who gets emotionally abused by all the people in her life and has headaches or migraines every day and struggles not to commit suicide. [bodytext] => I was happy
happy enough
then you came home
then school started
I wasn't happy anymore
Because of You

I'd wake up
pounding in my head
and try to scream
but barely a groan would leave my mouth
Because of You

I sit on the bus
Cry the whole way there
Afraid of what will happen
Because of You

You were supposed
to be my friend
What happened to that?
Now tears wash down my face
Because of You

Fat
Ugly
Stupid
Gross
Nobody
Dumb
Deaf
Smelly
Annoying
Devil

The names
stab me
like knives
Because of You

Called into the office
again
failing 1 or 2 classes
again
I cry my eyes out
again
Because of You

Finally
Home
But the tears still come
Because of You

I feel like a failure
But i can't cry
You'll see it as weakness
I just want the love the others get
You say
Eveything I do is wrong
Can't do nothing right
I know I'm stupid
Because of You

I take the razor
and make the slow cut
on my arm
until the pain numbs me
Because of You

The counselor
The principal
The teachers
The friends
They think I'm depressed
They try to find out why
Funny, how we never blame ourselves for things gone wrong
Funny, how we notice some people
When others are invisible
Even to the authorities
Who's the bully now?
You can talk to me, do what you want to me
But in the end
the decision is mine
And i just might end it tonight
Because of You

My friend is depressed
Why doesn't the counselor see her?
the principal?
the teachers?
her friends?
Because she's invisible
And they are all just like the students
bullying her
I don't want all this attention
Give it to her
She has little to trust
And she's closer to the edge
but all of them
look at me
if they had the pain, i do
They would look like this too
So I'll cry another night
And I'll go back to the horror
for another day
And I'll try but won't succeed
Because of You

The Gun in one hand
Knife in the other
I do what's right
for everyone
