Shattered Shards of a Broken Girl

This broken girl
Just trying to find
Her place in this world
I see her there everyday Okay, so this part through me for a loop because of lack of punctuation. At first it had an okay flow, but then that came to a sudden stop because of the run-on. Breaking this into stanzas would also help.
Walking with her head down
Hiding not her smile
But instead a frown
I know she needs help
I try to tell her
"You're not alone"
Hoping to see her
But she screams
"You don't know me!"
I don't, she's right
But I know she won't
Sleep tonight
Easy to tell from the
Dark circles under her eyes
Under her breath she says
"I just want to die..."
She needs help
She's in pain
But all I know about her
Is her name Where did the rhyme scheme come from? It actually works better than the free-verse in this case, I feel. But you have to make the consistent decision, it cannot be half and half!

The cuts on her wrists
She can no longer hide Ugh, a little overworked.
Getting deeper and deeper
They scream suicide
I worry one day
Ill find that she died
With an empty bottle of pills
And a knife by her side

I need to help her
Before it's too late
Show her she's not
Subject to this fate Lost the rhythm on these lines.
Tell her she can pull through
But she screams
"I don't even know you!"

Eyes lost in tears mist
She swings at me
Hands balled in a fist
Glass shatters
Shards in my hand
...Mirrors in my room
Really should be banned

In the shattered shards

I see a broken girl
Just trying to find
Her place in this broken world

This is a really great poem. These are the only things I saw:

Before it's too late
Hands balled into a fists

Great job!

Great poem. I'm going to recommend this to my friend, because this really relates to her and I think this can help through some of her problems. Thanks a lot for writing this! Please keep writing more.
