Broken Girl


She runs away to hide

nobody giving her a second glance 

so no one sees her cry

why can't they give her another chance


Broken girl all alone

locked away in her room

putting on her headphones

awaiting for the darkness to consume

 

No one thought to give her a hug

she had dreams but

they only squashed her like a bug

now she is the girl that cuts

 

She has stopped eating

the blade takes away the pain

her friends are pleading

as she opens her vein


Ambulance sirens shrieking

her life flashes before her eyes

while her mother is screaming

and her little sister cries


Her vision bluring 

ambulance racing

her words sluring

she can't imagine facing


Her little sister's face

tear stained

friend's interlace 

and pained 


Broken girl lying on the hospital bed

family and friend's all around

as she lay there waiting to be dead

looking like she didn't weigh more than a pound


Almost the entire school was at her funeral

most of her classmates silent

friends and family were emotinal

most the classmates knew they had been violent


She was always nice

probably would never hurt a fly

but others heart's were cold as ice

now paying the price they have to say good bye


Broken girl dead and gone

laying in her silk casket 

she was finally done

wiping tears away on her jacket
