Sometimes/I need/I want

By Emma Lee

Sometimes I just want to scream until someone hears me.

Sometimes I just want to run away until no-one can find me.

Sometimes I wish I were dead then they couldn't find me.

Sometimes I wish the world would end and then we would be free.

I need to be away from this.

I need to be free from this.

I need to clear my head.

I need to you to put me to bed.

I want to scratch the eyes from my face.

I want to cut myself away with no trace.

I want to take you in every way.

I want you to dig my grave.

It all ends now......

    Great poem especially the lines, "Sometimes I wish the world would end and then we would be free/I need to be way from this/I need to be free from this," where the poem tries to make a turn for the better away from the darkness.
