You

A girl who witnesses someone going through depression and did nothing about it till it was too late.

They say you are ugly,

They say you are horrendous,

But you are lovely,

And in my eyes you are gorgeous.

I see you walk through the hallway all alone,

You start to wish you stayed at home,

But even there you are not safe,

From the taunts from your father whenever he was in a furious chafe.

I see you sitting under a tree,

Your face is hiding behind your hands,

As you cry with unanswered pleas,

I am the only one who can see the scars under your arm bands.

You say you just want to take the pain away,

You think self harm is the only way,

But really its not okay,

I swear tomorrow will be a brand new day.

You hide in your bedroom,

Behind a locked door,

You feel abandoned,

As you grab the knife from your draw.

I am at your funeral,  not many people came,

Most of them didn't even know your name,

I am the one to blame,

I could've helped but now it's too late and I bow my head in shame.

You just wrote amazing, while reading I wish the poem should not end. Every inch I was shifting my eyes it was like a picture of some unknown sorrow sprinted in front of me.
A perfect beginning , awesome middle, and a painful ending.
It was just like a image of myself in the written form, and that is what defines writer and his power of pen and thoughts.
Wonderful write!

I can definitely see the inspiration here, yet you took it a step further and made it more personal, put a person behind it. For me, it was more like a narrator telling a story. *hugs* I love it. :)

this is incredibly deep and the message is so clear and straight to the point. I think you can't blame yourself, but in these situations when we do see the beauty in the one who is clearly a tragic pained soul, we must reach out before it is too late. you have wisdom in your words

This poem contains a significant but honest plot.It's very heart-touching,inspiring us to help the depressed people.

If you wish,you can edit this poem a little.For example you can add 'lovely angel' instead of just 'lovely' which might look and feel nice,am I right?But it's your decision.This wonderful piece of writing is nice whether you edit this or not. :-)

[KittyKatgirl]

Thank you so much :) Yes that was my aim of this poem, to inspire people who help those who are depressed. And I'll take it into consideration but if i do add angel then ill have to change my first line to end with something that rhymes with angel and that might be difficult.
