she sits alone
she acts the way they want
they are trying to help her
they don’t see that they can’t
they don’t get that if they send her back she’ll die
if they let her go back home they’ll wish they didn’t
later they’ll see the pain
later they’ll see what they did
they shouldn’t have sent her home
they killed her
how could they let her down like that
why couldn’t they see the signs
she lied to their faces and they couldn’t tell
she sat there and wouldn’t budge
she wanted to cut everyday she was in the hospital
she never told an adult
friends and adults say than when she gets an urge
she should tell someone so they can help her through it
but she doesn’t
she sits alone and slowly fades away
if they only knew the pain she’s been through
if they only saw that she wasn’t ready
if they only listened or watched
they would see how she acts around her mom
they would have known not to send her home
they killed her
and they didn’t even realize it
