Gently, slowly. 

 

"No one wants you here." 

"You don't belong."

"Go **** yourself, freak." 

The words turned to razors she dragged along her worthless skin. 

She cried her heart out to her pillow as the moon watched on.

She held her head high as she ignored the whispers from the hall as everyone whispered about her trip to the hospital.  

 

"Too bad she didn't finish the job." 

'Yes, too bad.' she thought.

Down through the silence of the dinner table as her mother glanced in distaste at her scars and her father ignored her. 

 

'Don't cry. Don't ******* cry.' She repeated like a mantra as the boy she had trusted, 

Had told everything, 

Announced her secrets to the entire school. 

"No wonder she wants to **** herself." 

She couldn't tell if she was being sympathetic or not.

As she finally took a long walk off a short pier as everyone had instructed her to.

Deep breaths of salty water 

As the depths of silence gently surrounded her . 

She smiled serenely as the ocean lulled her to sleep.
