In the middle of the hallway
Standing all alone
Was a girl with no soul
Who belonged to no one
Stayed invisible
People only went around her
Not checking to see who she was
Her heart broke silently
Not even her best friend knew
About the pain she went through
Day by day and night by night
I know that girl
For that girl is me
School is where I can't break
Where I have to stay strong, smile
Wishing my aunt were here
She was the one who knew me
Understood me
I feel weaker
As the time passes by
I don't even think this is a poem anymore
This is like the story of my life
Now everytime I write my hand trembles
No one really cares
They'll ask only to get an "okay" back
The worst part is
I know I have friends
Some people who care
Yet I keep getting worse
I'm not alone
Others are suddenly falling
Into this dark pitch black pool
Call depression
To those who know they haven't fallen
Stay strong
Cutting seems to be a trend
Don't start for it's not worth it
Not worth not being able to stop
I'm gone so I'll keep writing
It's my only escape
to feel free
like I can fly
Don't fall
Keep your head high
And fly
