eyes so blue
hair of gold
her actions new
her sadness old
she tries so hard
her pain she hides well
never relaxing her guard
her happiness she sells
little miss perfect
thats what they all think
"my life isn't worth it"
she writes in dark ink
water filled tubs
perforated skin
men in scrubs
they load her in
her mother cries
she grasps her hand
her father tries
desperate to understand
but she was already dead
a second too late
wrists soaked red

This is dedicated to my friend Julia who killed herself back in 2012
