Look for the signs

She stares empty into the dark wall
her eyes are glass like and dead
no one would hear her painful call
or the bullet going through her head

She holds the gun in her hand
dreaming of a better place
why didn't they understand
that the 1 sign was tears down her face

She gave them so much to look for
but they never took the time
but now she don't have to ask anymore
"Is killing yourself really a crime?"

She had given them sign number 2
but still no help at all in sight
she never knew what to do
then to give up her life long fight

Sign number 3 was her bleeding wrists
they all saw the deep and perfect cut
but did they do anything about this?
No, and soon they all just forgot

Though she cut herself real deep
she couldn't seem to die
thought that the pills would make her sleep
and she took them without a cry

The doctors saved her fragile life
though she didn't wanted them to
and the saw the cuts by the knife
but still they had no clue

Trying to starve herself to death
was probably the last sign she gave
or was it trying to hold her breath?
no matter what, she couldn't be saved

That's why she has a gun in her hand
her only way out of this hell
she tried so hard to make them understand
but never did she dare to tell

So she died with a secret deep inside
she shot a bullet through her head
no one never knew why she died
or why she didn't ask for help instead

*Look for the signs*
