Member Poem

The girl writing this has much to learn. 
She's made mistakes, more than a few. 
She didn't try hard enough and she knew
She wouldn't amount to anything. 
She was nothing. 
No more than a burden floating 
In the abyss of society. 
The stress and anxiety
Building up inside and she
Didn't know what else to do, 
But to leave. 
Leave behind all the pain and all the hurt. 
To whom it may concern, 
The girl writing this will never return
