One Person Less

she watches silently
as she is left behind
her confidence fading
her belief all gone

she struggles to hide
all the scars she cant explain

a sad story is told
a dangerous game is played

nothing went right
lies have been told
but only for protection
tears have fallen freely

emotions slowly set free
sadness and fear are around the most
next comes gulit and shame
questions are asked

doctors are called
no one can help
no one understands

everyone watches her now

whispering around her
quietly they voice there fears
its not the same
she wants her freedom back

but its not possible anymore
everyone knows why
bandages appear like ghosts

everyone says there concerned for her safety

but no ones there when she really needs them
pretending everything is fine
when silently her protected world crumbles
afraid to say to much

she lets people come to there on conclusion
the doctors that dont listen
and friends with fake concern
overprotective parents who try to hard  

they will never know the truth
its far to late now
no where is safe
life isnt fair

all the stares and hostility
it doesnt matter anymore
everything is over
nothing was won

an 18 year old girl died
in her mind she was much older
her parents cried
her friends asked why

the doctors couldnt explain

crying as she died
regretting what she started
the ambulance can to late

and her parents even later
apologies started
everyone cried
it couldnt be fixed

goodbyes wasnt said

in the end death wasnt really the answer
but it wouldnt be changed
everyone mourned the great loss

but no one could really explain why
rumors flew about the truth of the situation
but answers never found

to this day her parents will always wonder

what went wrong for there wonderful daughter
so much to live for but all she saw was the wrongs
forever missed and growing up no more
now her parents fear for the life of her small sister
