only wanted to be happy

this poem is about a friend of mine

Words Words
B***h and w***e
The girl runs away
she slams the door
she takes a knife
and cuts her skin
remembering how screwed up her life has been
she leans to the toilet
throws up to be thin
at school all she has is a grin
She cuts cuts 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 has 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
Bloods dripping on 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 word "She's dead"
Her brother cries as he sleeps in her bed
She is gone
She is done
Just because of people. making fun.
She's buried on a 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

This is such a tragic, heart aching true tale that in many a place in this bitter twisted world. I feel such empathy and sadness. That human beings can and are so cruel. Just because of the way. Some people choose to express themselves in the way they dress. You projected this with such heartfelt understanding, pain,hurt and anguish. ps I do hope your friend is okay. Tell her not everyone is bad in this world. For I myself speaking. Admire everyone who express themself the way they seem fit. Good on her. Being herself. And expressing herself for who she wants to be. Just herself.
