Her smile
is hidden,
Her laugh
is non-existent
Her
happiness is gone
Her world
is all wrong
She lives
day by day
Shutting
the world out
Thinking
that no one cares
Her heart
being ripped out
Every night
she goes home
Hoping it
would all end
The voices inside
her head
The scars
covering her body
She runs to
the bathroom
Searching
through the cabinet
Looking for
the bottle
The bottle
that holds her future
Tears so
salty
Her vision
is blurry
She finds
what she’s looking for
She knows she’s
already dying
She runs to
her room
Closing the
door
She takes
out the pills
Wishing
there were more
She shuts
her lifeless eyes
To escape
the world in front of her
She can’t
find the words to speak
But only a
pen and paper
She says she’s
sorry
She can’t
live like this anymore
She knows
you’ll be sad
But please don’t
mourn
A note in
her hand
Her future
is no longer planned
Pills cover
her palm
Her life is
a ticking time bomb
tick, tick, tick
Her mother
and sister come home first
Continuously
calling her name
They don’t
hear a response
They assume
she’s just with friends
...never assume
Her dad
comes home next
Going
straight to the shower
Not
stopping to check
On his poor
dead daughter
Her sister
then comes up
Looking for
some crayons
She opens
the door
Screams
erupt from her lungs
Her parents
rush in
They see
her lifeless body
And hurry
to her side
Looking for
the pulse
The one
they won’t find
Her mom
finds the note
She had no
idea
That her
daughter, so young
Had so many
fears
They knew
she was distant
They
thought it was a stage
But they
didn’t know
It was the
end of her age
a.k.s
I really like the last stanza!
