What do you do

free verse poem

What do you do
When everything goes wrong
When your whole world
Comes crashing down
What do you do
When your main reason
To live
Becomes the reason for your tears
You cry out for help
But no one seems
To care
What do you do
When living
Seems pointless
When you're hurting
So bad
That death seems glamorous
Everything has been
Taken away
You see the knife
You grab it
Put it to your skin
You stop
You think about
All the things
You haven't done
You remember
All the things
You wanted to accomplish
You pull the knife away
Throw it at the wall
You have a good cry
Fake a smile
Pretend you weren't just about to end it all
Start working on
All those things
You thought about
Something happens
To make you forget
You were ever unhappy
Your smiles become real again
You've found a new reason
To live
