Pefection

I Know this girl
her life was so perfect
Until the night when she finally heard it
the yelling and screaming it never did stop
For years and years she would sleep in tears
Soon the night would come when one would be done
Who would leave first she didn't really care
As long as something would get her out of there
Searching for a way to let go of the pain
It finally found her in the pouring rain
Upon the grass lay her new found friend
The shiny razor blade she held in her hand
All she needed was one fake smile
a few simple slits and life was less vile
It wasn't hard to hide from her friends
Cause no one really knew her until the end
Cutting was great the first few times
But soon enough there was to many lines
And the pressure for perfection was getting too strong
Everything she did seemed to go wrong
With one quick decision and a few harsh words
She was going to end all of her hurt
Writing letters to the ones that she loved
Promising to be with them from up above
Grabbing the razor for one last slit
All she lived for was unfit
As the blood rushed threw her porcelain flesh
She looked upon the stars and took her last breath.
Morning came and found her cold
The look of death made her seem so old
With guilty hearts those people did cry
For never would they imagine what she felt inside
At her funeral they read her final letter
Addressed to each one who thought they were better.
"Each of you thought your words didn't hurt
but that was wrong cause now I'm under the dirt
with every remark, with every harsh thought
closer to my dying day you bought.
So let my death be a lesson to you
be careful of what you say and whom it is to
See some of us are broken deep inside
And every-night its tears we cry.
Although we may seem happy it not the truth
Look at me I'm the dead proof."
After those words every eye was wet
Thinking of the words they all did regret
Each of them knew they were part of the reason
Why today is one more day shes not breathing.
