The boys in school picked on her
Pulled her hair, pulled the floor beneath her
The girls called her names, Fat, Ugly, Worthless
They all told her to kill herself
No one helped, No one defended her
She goes home, pretends she is fine
Tells her family she had a great day
Goes to bed early, the words haunt her dreams
Returns to school, The boys and girls still at it
No one wants you, do everyone the favor and JUST DIE
Hide her books, take her money
No one helps, no one defends her
Returns home, Says nothing to her family
Parents exchange looks but don’t interfere
She raids the medicine cabinet
She grabs the knife deciding the bathtub or her bed
Swallows all the pills crying softly numbing her body
Cuts her wrists deep enough
Parents find her sitting in her own blood
No pulse, Time of Death 3am
The girls and boys at school know why
Their words, their hatred, was too much
