Pretty?

Her voice was sweet, her eyes were kind
She kept secrets and told no lies
She had many friends that helped her out
And she helped them up when they were down

One day at school her friend called her fat
She said it louder and everyone laughed
Everyone turned on her and called her a dweeb
"Please, I've had enough" she would beg and plead

She ran home crying that very same day
Then she ran to the bathroom and grabbed a blade
She pressed it harshly against her wrist
And blood rapidly poured down her skin

The next Monday she came to school with scars
The kids in class saw and went on being harsh
They called her big, round, large, and wide
She wanted to yell but she kept it all inside

Soon she stopped eating, skipping every other meal
Her parents never knew, she kept her lips sealed
She became skinny, pale, bony, and thinner
She threw up her breakfast, lunch, and sometimes dinner

She looked around and everything became dark
So she closed her eyes and fell apart

She fainted that day but no one heard her scream
Her dad saw her on the floor like it was a bad dream
She was rushed to the hospital in an hour or so
And her parents whispered and yelled "please don't go!"

She just layed there on the hospital bed
Cuts on her wrists and a messed up head
Her parents by her side crying endlessly
But she just looked upon them cluelessly

She slit her wrists, she slit her neck
She threw up her food every night before bed
She took some drugs, "it was better than a knife"
She wasted her money, her time, and her life

Her voice once was sweet, her eyes once were kind
Until a single word mutilated her mind
Her friends hoped it wasn't something they said
Cause a few days later, they found out she was dead

never forget that, you are beautiful no matter what others say, just believe in yourself.
