What About the Girl

Can't you hear her crying
as she lies awake at night
can't you hear her screaming
as she awakens with a fright

can't you see her tears
as they stream down her face
can't you see why she chose
to end her life this way

can't you see her in the darkness
when she cuts herself to sleep
can't you see she's tired
of keeping the secrets that she keeps

can't you see the girl
who is filled with pain
can't you see the girl
with only scars to gain

did you know the girl
who ended her life
do you know the girl
who committed suicide
