Few of the Fallen

[DepressingPoem]

Carlie sits all alone at lunch again
on the inside she's breaking insane
school over she cuts for the first time
something she can feel its not a crime
she wants it all to be normal to be fine
from atop the fridge she takes dads wine

People break and people tare
there lives fail and they are bare
no one watched and she was broke
no one cared enough and spoke

Dave is 30 just lost his dead end job
he drank to much and his head did throb
he has no family no one on which to lean
spends the next few days trying to clean
runs out of savings and looses his home
killed himself jumped off a tower in rome

People break and people tare
there lives fail and they are bare
no one cared and he stopped too
if I waved hi i just need a clue

Samantha is 40 just got a divorce
had 3 children chose to leave no force
she's all alone works as a lawyer
runs from life before it can destroy her
no one loves her they never stop bye
she burned herself and only asked why

People break and people tare
there lives fail and they are bare
People left and never came back
it drove her mad her mind pitch black

Jake was just 14 and already broke
abusive home and hardly ever spoke
he cried himself to sleep never healed
only a year later an emotional shield
nothing could phase him nothing came close
he killed himself and off a bridge he goes

people broken already torn
life fallen apart and naked bare
now he's dead never gets another chance
he ran from life into an eternal dance

Thank you Mr. The Kid In A Cell

Part of life is suffering a heavy load for far too many...you've definitely captured that here. It reads like a song to me - with the repeat stanza as refrain - was that your intent?

[DepressingPoem]

It started as a song i wrote and I adapted it a little bit to make it a bit more like poetry
