Teenage Suicide

You never really know who suffers and who doesn't. Just because someone seems to have it all, doesn't mean they do.

And it was a teenage sucide
And it was a teenage sucide
And we all will miss them
But we don't know exactly what they've done

She seemed to live the teenage dream
The prom beauty queen
The girl in every scene
But no one bothered to ask
When she began to show the signs of pain
The model look was her goal
For this she sold her self down the drain
And eventually passed away 'cause she couldn't take it any more

And it was a teenage sucide
And it was a teenage sucide
And we all will miss them
But we don't know exactly what they've done

And he was the popular whiz kid
And he was the happiest guy they thought
But they all ignored
When he began to show the signs of pain
Never the catch of the day, but the accquaintance at bay
Couldn't take the rejection no more
So he jumped away from us to his end

And it was a teenage sucide
And it was a teenage sucide
And we all will miss them
But we don't know exactly what they've done

And she never really fit in
And she never was shown the love from her home
The bruises and tears she couldn't hide anymore
Soon the isolation and lonliness began to set in
And she turned the wrong way
She took her life to a short end

And it was a teenage sucide
And it was a teenage sucide
And we all will miss them
But we don't know exactly what they've done

As we strive for our own perfection
We send our children into a killing field
We make images too hard to reach
We make them less than human kind
We cast the freaks to the dogs
We try to make the world universally mondane
But if we did we'd miss us
'Cause we'd just killed all that we are

I really fancy this poem. It is nicely done. Sad thing is that this poem has to be true. You know? I wish life didn't have to be to where you write poetry for people to finnaly understand others pain. :) Nice job!!!!!
