Girl with wide eyes
Says she overdosed
They say they don’t know why
Maybe she was just upset that day
Her mother gave her a notebook
That said “Life is what you make it”
Then left her alone
She told many people
How afraid she was of her own mind
How she didn’t want to be alive anymore
How she was running out of time
But nobody listened
And now they’re all surprised
That a quiet little girl with wide eyes
Felt this way inside
Her mother didn’t care
She told her many times
Of the times when she hurt herself
Even showed her the scars
Her mother didn’t help
Ignored her cries
This wasn’t her first time
But it was by far the worst
She took an entire bottle of aleve
Then waited for her pain to be relieved
But it wasn’t, her stomach cramped and she threw up
Nine hospital days later
Her ***** was still in the toilet unflushed
The pills still in a row
Her tear-soaked note
Exactly the way she left it
No one cared to go up there
To see what she had done
No one cared until
Law enforcement got involved
She was struggling
But nobody
Heard her
