Small Mistake

By Mariah Miller, Ionia High School

For this serious mental flaw.
One in four people they say.
It’s just the luck of the draw.
A simple thing they have to face during the day.

And some don’t even try.
There is no way to stop.
And all she can do is cry.
Until the blood starts to drop.
The pain goes on for years.
There is nothing but rage.
All there is are tears.
There will never be a new page.
I found out there is no way to escape.

But all I am is a small mistake.

About the Author: "Let go and let the world pass through your fingertips." Life is stressful and you can't always have your way. Mariah Miller has learned this the hard way, probably just like any other 17 year old girl that goes to high school. Dedication and passion have always been a big role in her life. She sets goals for herself that she feels she can able to achieve. Life is hard, and we should never be afraid to ask for help or give help to those who need it. Life is to short to live in the negative.
