Harmful

A world full of hate

A life filled with pain,

No love

No compassion

A child caught in the middle

No affection just ignored

Screaming or complete silence

Too young to understand.

She was depressed,

He didn't care,

A sister to fight,

A brother just like him.

Twelve years old,

A friend who cuts

no comprehension as to why

Soon she would understand.

A lonely life for such a young girl

No real friends, only fake

A blade to keep her company

Tears refused to fall.

Darkness became light,

Blood fell where tears wouldn't,

A colorful personality became numb

T-shirts became long.

Excuses were made,

Blood showed through

Secrets were no longer

Children can be cruel

Relentless teasing,

Words cut deep

Wounds followed

A life at stake.

Suicidal thoughts

A wrist split open

Blood poured out

The tears finally came.

She found her fight

She found her strength

A suicide attempt to show

She wanted to live.

White marks her arms

A sign that shows

Scars mark her soul

Hiding a secret no one knows.
