16... what an age
still sweet and innocent
but with the deadly secret
voices in your head
dark circles under your eyes
blood stained wrists
17 wont be much better
depression taking its toll
pain medication becoming
your best friend
hiding behind a smile
remember all those times
when you didnt care
what you looked like
or what you wore?
when you genuinely smiled
and laughed
those were the good times...
16.. and everyone knows you
the happy bubbly girl
with an amazing smile
and big brown eyes
17.. with the reputation
of local girl
who takes own life
no one knew she was depressed
until it was too late
unable to make it to
her 18th birthday.
a smile hides 1000 feelings
until its too late
until she is gone
and becomes news
on everyone's lips
