Her smile is the only thing she let's you see.

Her heart broken beyond repair.

She tries her hardest to let her feelings known.

Slowly she is sinking, the water is suffocating her.

She pours her heart out.

She screams for help.

But you are to blind to pay attention.

You brush her off she cries every night.

"I'm worthless"

"I'm ugly"

"Why would anyone love me"

"I should just end it all right now"

She says all of this to herself everyday slowly bringing herself down.

She writes you a letter.

She makes herself suffer.

She apologizes to everyone of you thinking she did something wrong.

She cut herself and carved hurtful words in her skin.

She took the pills.

She drank the alcohol.

She hung herself.

She left she was gone finally no more pain.

You came home you read the note.

At her words you screamed and cried.

I am sorry I had to leave all.
I am worthless you all deserve better.
I am nothing I am ugly.
It hurts the voices in my head are all right I don't deserve life.
I was a waste of space and I am sorry to put you all through this.
But it's better this way.
I know I don't deserve to end it this easy.
But even if I don't deserve love.
I love you all.
I am doing something horrible
I am freeing myself from all of the pain.

He stared at the note tears rolling down his cheeks.

Her funeral was four days ago.
He balmes himself.

"How could we not see her pain, now she's gone"

He see's her ghost.

"Don't cry I'm free there is no more pain, live and love again"

She whispered into the wind.

He did exactly that
he lived
he loved
And he experienced life but he never forgot her.

He payed attention and helped those that were in pain.

He smiled to himself.

He became a better person.

He is one of the many that can now notice hidden pain.

She smiled from her view.

Finally she's free.
