Suicide

Folder: 
my poems

they sit and laugh

they think she's fine

but when she goes home

the real her comes outside

no one knows how she feels

she hides it so well so they can't see

she was a straight A student

she was on the swim team

the teachers loved her

the coachescalled her family

friends were hurt

they couldn't figure out why

how could such a great person

feel so alone and scared inside

she never got to live her life

she never saw her prom

now there is a huge gap

her family is so broken

no one can guess why she did it

no one can see or even handle the truth

people are just unpredictable

sometimes people just kill themselves

nothing less, nothing more

but she will never again walk through the door
