Sad Poems

She Was Only...

She was only fifteen when someone told her she was fat,

So she clutched her stomach and skipped a meal in hopes she'd lose a few pounds.

She was only fifteen when her boyfriend left her for another girl,

So she put on more makeup and pulled up her skirt in hoped that someone would find her pretty.

She was only sixteen when no one showed up to her birthday party,

So she sat alone on the steps for two hours in hopes that they were just late.

She was only sixteen when she cried herself to sleep because everyone left her,

So she put her face into the pillow in hopes that no one would hear her.

She was only sixteen when she dragged a razor against her skin,

So she wore long sleeves over the summer in hopes that no one would see the scars.

She was only sixteen when she took her own life,

So she wrote a note to her parents in hopes that they would forgive her.
