Pay attention

A girl is hurting and she wonders "why can't anyone see?"
The grandfather clock is ticking, it's been so long since she did the deed
So in a book she writes the pain her friends will never see
They say that words can't hurt you but read now and you'll see
That words are the deadliest of them all
And they cause those weak to fall

This is a story through poetry of a depressed girl who self harms. It is not about me.
