every day she walks along
laughed at, ridiculed, pointed at
tears always threatened her eyes
but she refused to let them pass
she kept her head held high
as the people still stared
she wouldn't let them know
that she really cared
she could not let them know
how much her heart felt pain
so one day she stepped outside
into the pouring rain
she was sick of it
she had had enough
she couldn't take anymore
she just wasn't that tough
a blade was in her arm
just the usual act
of teenage self harm
when she was done, she went inside
and sat on her soft bed
thoughts of her past haunted her
and filled up in her head
she thought of all the times
she had ever done wrong
and said " i will be strong"
her talking to the reflection
went on for about a year
bu she felt so better
when she assured the girl in the mirror
but one day it was TOO MUCH
so she put on her favorite song
slit her wrists, looked into the mirror
and said " i will be strong"
and then slowly she died
looking into the mirror
wondering to herself
if anyone would care
the note she had written
brought tears to everyones eyes
and they all felt guilty
for not hearing her cries
on this piece of paper
she had told them all her thoughts
of the girl who reassured her
after she had fought
it told about her mirror
and of the girl inside
and how they were alike
because they could not hide
if she would have known
what they felt for her note
sh wouldn't have killed herself
for this is what she wrote
"the people in this world
don't really give a care
and my only friend
is the girl in the mirror
for we are both so tired
because no matter how we tried
we could not be perfect
so together we died
at least we went together
for she was my best friend
we stood by each other
even until the end
she knew how to encourage me
and did it all along
for everyday i heard her
she said " i will be strong"
take a look at your reflections
maybe you can hear
because reflections know your happiness
your sadness and your fear
that is why mines gone
for it was too much to bear
and so she died with me
from feeling my despair
i know my best friend told me
that i would be strong
but it doesn't matter
because we are both gone"
