Another Teenage Victim

They laugh, and she laughs too,
Never letting on how the words cut through -
Like the knife she will later on use
After a day of suffering abuse.

She'd rather they pushed her to the ground
Than to be told 'No one wants you around.'
They tease her and say she's a freak,
They judge her because she's unique.

But they don't see that, they think it's just a laugh
They don't see her crying in her red-stained bath.
They don't hear her shouting how life is unfair,
They don't feel her pain; they've never been there.

She's there sobbing, shoving fingers down her throat,
Shaking and breaking while she writes out a note
While they're in their rooms - don't remember what they said,
But because of what they've done, another girl's dead.
