there is a girl
in the front of my class
who I swear I've never seen
do anything but laugh.
she's tall and she's smart
beautiful and strong
and when someone's down
she tries to fix what is wrong.
How can someone so perfect
Feel so insecure?
As to scar her skin with cuts and burns
And still want to hurt more...
there is a girl
in the front of my class
who's eyes are glaze over
like newly cut glass.
the ghost of a smile
hints at her face
and she laughs as they tell her
"who's gonna be wasted?"
How does someone so loving
Learn to hate her own guts?
Drawing a picture on her arms with a blade
As if her mind isn't dark enough...
there was a girl
in the front of my class
who yesterday took
the breath that was her last...
she wrote a few notes
"I'm sorry I couldn't say
but my mind was messed up
you couldn't save me anyway..."
and to the girl in the back of the class
who made her feel the way she did
"how can you live with yourself
after freeing her to this death bid."
How can someone so perfect
Feel so insecure?
As to scar her skin with cuts and burns
And still want to hurt more
How does someone so loving
Learn to hate her own guts?
Drawing a picture on her arms with a blade
As if her mind isn't dark enough...
THIS IS YOUR FAULT.

Bullying is wrong.
You all know that, but those who have not experienced it, cannot simply understand the pain.
People die everyday because of it. It could easily be you.
The Self Harming population grows with each nasty comment you make.
I know how it feels. That alone, I'm also made fun of. People think it's funny or try maintain a victim when making irrational decisions.
Don't let that sit on your shoulders... Do something about it. My way of helping, is writing this poem up for all of you, so that I can raise awareness.
**CLARIFICATION- These are lyrics from a song called Dark Enough, this is not my work. Future Poems are written by myself unless specified :)**
But that feeling can be freed. You always have someone if you think hard enough.
