One Last Journal Entry

This girl has a diary
She tries to write in everyday
She's never lost for words
She always has something to say
This pretty little girl
Is starting to get dark thoughts in her mind
She doesn't know what's wrong with her
She now wants to leave her world behind
Her mother takes her to the doctor
He then tells her she has depression
Her mother doesn't know what to say
As a confused face consumes the girls expression
She writes in her journal
About the events that occurred that day
Still so confused
As, on her bed she lays
Her dark thoughts are getting stronger
More thoughts are of suicide
She puts on a fake smile
So her feelings she can hide
One day she comes home from school
Her tears she could not hide
She couldn't understand what was wrong
Her only thoughts were of suicide
She went into her kitchen
And picked up the lonely knife
She took it across her skin on her arm
Thinking about ending her life
She writes her las entry in her journal
As her blood spills to the lonely floor
As she cries her last tear and takes her last breath
She just couldn't take it anymore.
