She only wanted to be happy

Words words
Bitch and whore
The girl runs away
She slams the door
She takes the knife
And cuts her skin
Remembering how her screwed up life has been

She leans to the toilet
Throws up to be thin
At school all she has is a grin
She cuts some more
Screaming in pain, blood on the floor
People call her emo, people laugh at her face

But they haven't even tried to be in her place
Her dad just died, her mom has depression
Her brother had to go through a therapy session
Why can't people see that grin Is a
lie?

Everything's done for her, her life's slowly fading by
Blood is dripping in the floor, she's screaming in pain
She can't eat because that means more weight to gain
She wishes to be perfect she says it's not fair
She says she hears people talking about her hair
She cuts it all off, her soul has been broken
But she never told anyone, her words were never spoken

She takes the rope, hangs herself in the dark
She no longer has a beating heart
Her friends fall to the ground
When they hear the words "She's Dead"
Her brother cries and sleeps in her bed
She is gone
She is done
Just because of people making fun
She's buried on Saturday
People start crying
All because that one girl stopped trying

So before judging someone on their weight or their clothes
Their laugh, their talk, their hair, or their nose
Just take a moment to realize and see
Everyone is not always who they seem to be
