There was once a little girl
who lived a terrible life
ever since she went to school
nothing went quite right
She never had a smile,
never any friends
she would always hide and cry
all by herself, her peers
would always bully her and
call her names; throughout her life
she never understood why
Everything was worthless
she thought and heaved
a great big sigh
so she went and found a rope
and tied it to the sky
Upon a chair she stood
her eyes blank and dead
and without another thought
she went and hung her head
Now a month has passed
and her parents are still grieving her death
they can't help but wonder
what could have been
What if we'd paid more attention?
What if we'd noticed sooner?
What if she was depressed?
What if she was lonely?
What if she needed help?
What if we could have stopped it?
would she still be with us?
