Do you see her?
She’s sitting in the corner crying
She smiles on the outside but is she really happy?
People say mean things
Her mom says sticks and stones may break your bones but words will never hurt
She’s dying inside
With Every cut she remembers what they said
You’re worthless, No one will ever love you
She hears it so much she starts to believe it
Finally she has had enough
The world will be a better place without me she thinks to herself
If I were to die right now nobody would come to my funeral she thinks to herself
She sits in class staring into space
would it be worth it she thinks?
The next day she doesn't show up to school
The school gets a call from her mother
She’s gone she says
look around
Do you see that person?
This is a perceptive poem. You should submit it to our literary magazine, Branches!
