Words, Words like Bitch and whore.
The girl runs away she slams the door.
She takes a knife and cuts her skin remembering how her life has been.
She leans to the toilet throws up to be thin.
At school, all she has is a grin.
She cuts, and cuts, and cuts some more.
Screaming in pain, blood on the floor.
People call her emo,
People laugh at her face.
But they haven't tried to be in her place.
Her dad just died, her mom has depression. Her brother has to go through a therapy session.
Why can't people see?
That grin is a lie everything's done  for her,
Her life's slowly fading by.
Blood is dripping on the floor,
She still screaming in pain.
She can't eat because that means more weight to gain.
She wishes to be perfect she says it's not fair.
She says she hears people talking about her hair.
She cuts it all off, her soul has been broken but she never told anyone.
Her words were never spoken.
She takes the rope, hangs herself in the dark.
She no longer has a beating heart.
Her friends fall to the ground when they hear the words; "She's dead".
Her brother cries, he sleeps in her bed,
She is gone She is done Just because of people making fun.
She's buried in a Saturday, people start crying all because that one girl stopped trying.
So before judging someone on their weight or their clothes their laugh their talk their hair or their nose. Just take a moment to realize and see Everyone is not always who they seem to be.
