Every breathe you take
Every move you make
Every moment of each day
Is filled with shades of gray
Anxiety steals your breath
As you think about death
Cold and still you imagine
Your last breath taken
A corpse in a new bed
Many tears were shed
A crowd of people young and old
And your story begins to unfold
A girl with a dream filled mind
Used a smile to hide behind
Hoodies and sleeves hid her arm
Covering where she caused harm
To adults, a help wanted plea
Only to be met with mockery
All she wanted was someone to care
All she wanted was someone to be there
Hopeless wishes filled her head
They never dreamed she'd be dead
