Smile
Even though she was in pain she always kept a smile on her face
But it didn’t matter because
She was a lonely, introverted, freak
All those around her thought
That she was a waste of time
The cuts on her wrists just go to show
She was trying to reach out to you but
You never understood her
You never really cared
You had so many chances to make things right but
You continued to bully and harass her
Everyday was the same
She cried so many tears because
Slowly even though she didn’t show it she was dying
With all your hateful words burned into her heart and mind she realized that
She was an outsider who didn’t belong
She cut herself at night because
You didn’t realize her feelings were that strong so strong in fact that
She’d hide in her room for a week straight, turn the lights off and hide under the covers crying because
You were never there for her so eventually she had to resort to other methods
She would write in her journal and when that filled up she would buy a new one because
She stressed over boys and school work
She had a job
She was just a normal teenage girl
But in the end it wasn’t enough to save her
She tried her very hardest to fight the demons in her mind
It was released on the news the next day
Late one night a girl was found dead in her bathtub huge gashes down the length of her arms
The whole neighborhood was in shock because
No one knew the demons of this girl
Who put up such a thick mask that in the end would be her demise cause
If one person had known then they could have saved the life a girl
But there’s always an if
If only she had stopped smiling then all this could have been avoided
A poor innocent soul taken from this world
A smiling beauty
Who just wanted to be free
A story about a girl
That’s all this is
A story
“Now read it from the bottom up”
