She walks to school

With her head down low

Hoping the students

Will leave her alone.

Her scars stay hidden

Beneath her layers

Then she starts slamming the locker door

With much dispair.

 

Tears start to well

As she trudges to class.

Text book in hand, 

With year nines to pass.

Down the corridors

She glances glumly, 

"Nobody really cares"

She states so numbly.

 

When the day ends,

A bottle's at hand.

Is is really worth it?

"It's just death" she dead pans.

The pills go down,

tough and hard.

They reach into her system

And ends her heart.
