Attempted Suicide

She's too quiet for a pretty girl

Too young to be fed up of this cruel world

I've seen a lot is written in her eyes

Help me carved across her wrist and thighs

She doesn't even wear a disguise

If they look closer they'll realise

She's lost within her mind

Instead they say

She's the type of girl a man wants

Still she's alone every passing night and day

She laughs with everyone

When she's hurting inside

Hiding it all behind a perfect smile

She wants to escape reality

She wants to be free

So she closes her eyes and disappears inside

Slowly fading, slowly dying

Inside of her mind she's free to be whoever she wants to be

Without the taunting of society

She can spread her wings and soar in glee

She can fly away from the burdens 

That have grounded and dug the pit 

That she finds herself in

But its hidden in her eyes

And all the scars on her wrists

Are screaming "Attempted Suicide"

She really wants to give up on life

Yet she still wants to continue trying

If only she had the faith to believe in herself

The way she believes in humanity

Maybe she could be saved

[Zuza]

Very Beautiful. Revealing and giving insight to perceptions. The lack of human connection keeps people at bay from one another so we assume and never seek.

[R.E. Ray]

Powerful. I like how you show the stark contrast between how others see her, and how she sees herself. Very moving.
