She walks the halls, Head held high. Everybody hates her, I don't understand why. She is full of beauty, Inside and out, She tries hard to keep everyone happy, Excluding herself. A huge argument arose, Sitting at the lunch table, She runs off down the hall, And I follow her, When she realized I was there, She turned around, In tears, And said, "Why does everyone hate me? I never meant to hurt anyone. I tried cutting myself. I took a handful of sleeping pills. I always look happy, But I'm depressed. Smoking was the only thing, Making me feel normal." I didn't know what to say, She has broken, Her tears prove that, This happy and beautiful girl, Turned out to be depressed. I promised her I am always here, I promised myself I will help pick up her broken pieces. Her mask is gone, The veil is up. I know what she hides, And it's messed up.
