A Mother!

A mother sat in front of a computer

her daughters laptop.

Watching that happy teenagers face

and the voice full of hope.

Still unable to accept she was dead

memories filled her head.

 

Her wonderful child had hung herself

because of bullying at school.

Kept it from her mum she had no idea

what had been going on.

Her daughter had left a diary to explain

expressing the hurt and pain!

 

She said her boyfriend wanted intimacy

was not ready for this.

Left frustrated and could not understand

later sent him a naked photo.

Not thinking just trying to make atonement

her true feelings she sent.

 

Over night became the centre of verbal abuse

had her boyfriend caused it?

The photo for everybody to see had gone viral

and life became hell!

Called awful names and in degrading graffiti to

terrible words so untrue.

 

The end came finding out her best friend as well

had passed on the filth.

Nobody to trust could not tell mum the truth

arriving home so low.

Pressure now too much her life span ceased

from the torment released!

 

A mother sat compelled to seek out the truth

that drove her daughter to take her own life!
