Does Anyone Care?

I wrote this poem when I felt down and like no one cared about me.
I cry myself to sleep at night,
Wishing I was dead,
That all the pain would disappear

Does anyone care?

I take a razor blade,
And I put it up to my wrist,
I feel the cold metal against my skin

Does anyone care?

I start to cut,
I feel blood trickle down my arm,
I cut farther, and deeper

Does anyone care?

Everything is blank,
I can't see anything around me,
I only feel the piercing pain in my body

Does anyone care?

I slit my wrist one more time,
A pool of blood forms around me,
Then I realize I'm almost dead

Does anyone care?

My eyes start to close,
I say goodbye with a smile on my face,
I'm dead

Does anyone care?
