Mourning Skies

Truth Revealed

Today she woke up,

The regular day,

But surely it wouldn't

Remain this way

Today she went to school

Wearing a smile on her face

To hide the pain inside

And never show its trace

Today she wore short sleeves

Something she's never done

Everyone saw her scars

Every single one

Today she didn't worry

But the truth was soon to roam

Today, this little girl,

She never made it home

Today she took a gun..

Put a bullet through her brain

The last words from her mouth

Were "please, please stop the pain"

Today her family cries

And everyone's quiet and still

Because they learned their words

Are the very things that kill

Next week is her funeral

And they'll say the same lie

"Oh, it's such a same

That angel had to die"

But I will know the truth

They'll never, ever tell

That pretty little angel

Is in her world of hell.
