"I have endured pain and loss, I have felt broken, I have known hardship, and I have felt lost and alone. But here I stand, trying to move forward, one day at a time. I will remember the lessons in my life because they are making me who I am. Stronger. A warrior."


Dark skies, dark lies

She’s broken, but she tries

She says she’s fine, but she’s breaking inside

Bad day, “I should die”


If only they knew, they would hate everything too

She lays alone in her room with nothing to do

She’s left with her thoughts, she sits and cries

She’s falling apart, letting the pain flow out of her eyes


They said as she got older things would get better

But now those words are coming back to get her

Every day is full of dread

Every day more and more wishing she was dead


Don’t let it show, don’t let them know

Let your guard down and they’ll go

They’ll leave you alone with nowhere to go

No one will love you, you’ll die alone


They don’t care

They never did

All they do is sit and stare

And she wishes she was never there


She’s breaking

Falling apart every day

She’s crying, shaking

Just wanting to be okay


Demons? Who are they?

They’re the ones who torture her every day

“You’re ugly” “You suck” “You’ll never be good enough”
Don’t sweat the small stuff


It gets worse, something they never tell you

“Kill yourself” from the inner demons

That sticks in your mind like glue

It leaves you to wonder “What did I do?”

You blame yourself, “it’s my fault”

It hurts

Like a cut and salt

Feeling as though you’re going to burst

Just knowing that everything’s going to get worse


It leads her to not want to get out of bed

They say that she’s just lazy

But with all of the pain and dread

It’s all driving her crazy


You’re probably all confused

“How come you always seem so happy, but you write about depression?”

Well, it’s a mask

A mask to make a good first impression


She hides the pain with a smile

Hoping they’ll believe it for at least a little while

Until that fake smile fades away

And all of them walk away

Who wants to be friends with a depressed freak?

Someone who is only joyful maybe once a week

She tries her best to stay strong

Just to get the feeling that she doesn’t belong


No one likes change

They just want everything to stay the same

Anything that they deem as wrong

They just say it doesn’t belong


She was the change

She was the difference

She was for good

But they just kept their distance


She tried to keep going

But she couldn’t do it

She left the world

And she knew she had blew it


Maybe it was a mistake

But she couldn’t live another day

All the bullying was too much

So, she just gave up


And now that she’s gone, they play a part

When all of them stared

They fall apart

But we all know that they never cared


Now that she’s gone

We’ll remember her story

As the girl who was broken

And died lonely

The broken girl with the tears in her eyes. No one notices until she's six feet under and then they finally start to care.
