She sits in the corner admiring her own artwork Slowly sipping on her tea while a cigarette lingers between her fingers unlit She sits alone because she scared to share her self with anyone because she afriad that they will judge her for her mistakes and scars She smokes because she wants to be skinny...it's working but she's killing her self in the process And when you see this girl in the hallway you advert your eyes because the littlest contact could infect you with her imperfections and you hold your breath because she wears to much of her moms Perfume because it's the only thing she has left of her She goes through school with make up smeared and smudged around her eyes She looks like a zombie teachers and kids don't interact with because she's different because they all feel bad that they used to bully her in middle school so no one even smiles at her So when she goes home she decides today is the day I'm finally going to be free...she slowly gets in that tub and grabs that razor from the hiding place behind the soap and begins to cut Crying with every cut but not tears of pain or death but tears of happiness because her alcoholic dad will finally notice her and kids at school will finally talk about her When her dad finally stumbles in to take a drunk night **** he's sees her smiling for the first time in a while and then he notices the pool of blood And he finally realizes all the signs of her depression...the kids at school next day chatter throughs text and Facebook but soon there just memories and distant rumors of why she did it ranging from that she was crazy and evil to dumb and pregnant But the truth is all she needed was a smile a simple hi how are you today...and she would have made it...she would still be here...she wouldn't be a sad distant memory but a happy alive little girl like she used to be before her dad began drinking because of her mothers death

The quiet
She sits in the corner admiring her own artwork Slowly sipping on her tea while a cigarette lingers between her fingers unlit She sits alone because she scared to share her self with anyone because she afriad that they will judge her for her mistakes and scars She smokes because she wants to be skinny...it's working but she's killing her self in the process And when you see this girl in the hallway you advert your eyes because the littlest contact could infect you with her imperfections and you hold your breath because she wears to much of her moms Perfume because it's the only thing she has left of her She goes through school with make up smeared and smudged around her eyes She looks like a zombie teachers and kids don't interact with because she's different because they all feel bad that they used to bully her in middle school so no one even smiles at her So when she goes home she decides today is the day I'm finally going to be free...she slowly gets in that tub and grabs that razor from the hiding place behind the soap and begins to cut Crying with every cut but not tears of pain or death but tears of happiness because her alcoholic dad will finally notice her and kids at school will finally talk about her When her dad finally stumbles in to take a drunk night **** he's sees her smiling for the first time in a while and then he notices the pool of blood And he finally realizes all the signs of her depression...the kids at school next day chatter throughs text and Facebook but soon there just memories and distant rumors of why she did it ranging from that she was crazy and evil to dumb and pregnant But the truth is all she needed was a smile a simple hi how are you today...and she would have made it...she would still be here...she wouldn't be a sad distant memory but a happy alive little girl like she used to be before her dad began drinking because of her mothers death
