Looking in the mirror,
while getting ready for bed.
The teenager asks themselves,
“ what am I doing here?”.
They are all alone with,
no one to talk to.
Being picked on at school,
and has no friends.
Mom and dad are always working,
too busy to ask what’s wrong.
They are wanting more,
than they already have.
Feeling like they are screaming,
but no one hears a sound.
Too much hurt and pain,
to see anything good.
Walking around with a smile,
while there is a storm inside.
A face in the crowd,
but no one notices.
They start shutting down,
trying to find a way out.
No one cares,
so why not.
They found a bunch of pills,
and took all of them.
Mom came in the next morning,
to wake them up.
She found the bottle,
and a note.
“ I’m sorry,
just couldn’t take no more”.
They tried to figure out,
what they could have done.
But it’s too late,
because they missed…
The child’s cry.
