School is full of laughing children
as far as anyone could see
but it took a lot more than eyes
to see the pain beneath
The boy smiling with is friends
dreamt of suicide last night
and the girl with pretty brown curls
scared her wrists because of a fight
It is a shame that the eyes could be so blind
to the pain and sadness hiding behind
a laughing smile, that held no emotion
and a simple excuse that have no notion
And no one stops to think
the girl crying at the sink
had just emptied her stomach
of the little food she had eaten that day
She walks home alone thoughts ringing in her mind
wondering if she had any hope
of not being left behind
The thoughts of today at school
kill the only light she held
with the words 'go kill yourself'
go raining through her skull
A note left on the counter,
"We'll be home late."
Brought a hopeful smile as she filled herself with hate
Choosing her blade delicately from the drawer
she heads upstairs and through the door
of the bathroom she would die
Writing a note to the ones she loved
explaining why
she couldn't stay strong
because it had been far too long
She picked up the knife that would end her dreadful life
and dragged it across each wrist
Thoughts of relief and lovely retreat
filled the broken mind
With each wrist slashed she lied on the floor
her eyes fluttered closed
hearing the voices no more
When her parents got home
little did they know
their angel and fallen away
her sweet voice an laughter
never to be heard by the human ear again
Not one person had suspected
that such a happy girl could have gotten lost
in such a dark place
and not one person could have guessed
the time she went on
laughing at jokes
while she could barely hold on.

A/N:
I hope you enjoyed this poem,
this is kind of the insight (I guess)
of a depressed and/or suicidal person
I really hope that if you are one of those people that think suicide and self-harming is a joke, that you know; people who suffer from depression and become suicidal HONESTLY believe that they have nothing left.
It does not matter how "good" their life is
and if you think that telling them "People have it worse than you." is practically telling them that them and their problems don't matter.
These things are not a joke, so they
shouldn't be treated like one.
Have a good day :)

PoetryNo one deserves to feel like they have to commit suicide. I really hope that you understand that people feel like they don't have a future because it will end with suicide.
