Just yesterday you were a 17 year old girl,
with brown eyes and a smile that could light up a room.
You were beautiful.
You had so much potential.
Now you are a memory.
You're parents' hearts shattered,
your whole family is wondering why,
your friends are in tears,
and your boyfriend is left in pieces...
I don't think you intended to cause so much pain.
What were you thinking,
when you decided to leave it all behind.
Did you think you wouldn't be missed?
Did you think no one would notice or care?
Beautiful girl,
people who you never even met are crying for you.
So many hearts are shattered.
The little town you lived in is in complete shock.
You were so young.
You were so bright.
No one understands why you did this.
Everyone's broken.
No one knows how to handle this.
I know you didn't mean to break the hearts of those closest to you,
but did you not realize how loved you were?
Did you not think of that,
before you decided to end your life?
A young girl a town over from me took her life yesterday morning, and in a very very tragic way. Everyone is in complete shock and she's been on my mind since I found out. I never even met her and it hit me hard. I can only imagine what those close to her are feeling... please pray for her family and friends. And please, treat people with kindness and be there for those who are in need. Also, remember that even those who smile the brightest could be facing a war on the inside.
