A girl, now fallen apart

Kelli was a popular girl
Head of the cheerleading team
And as she got on the stage
The crowd cheered and screamed

But judging by her expression
The sad one on her face
The crowd immediately stopped the noise
And listened to what she had to say

On the screen behind her
Sadly but true
Was the picture of a girl
Nobody really knew

Kelli pointed to the picture
And moved so we could all see
She grabbed the microphone and said
This girl her name was Tali

The crowd continued to be silent
As Kelli came back to speak
She slowly cleared her throat
The words to explain she seeked

Only one fourth of this room
Has ever really noticed this face
And what you do not know
Was to herself she was a disgrace

She was never liked
She never had any friends
And we all shut her out
And made her dreams end

See, Tali loved cheerleading
But we never gave her a chance
We shunned her right away
Before even letting her dance

We knew she was upset
But nobody really cared
We all just walked by her
And did not even bother to stare

Because in our eyes she was ugly
In our eyes she was weird
In our eyes she did not belong
And another day of taunting she feared

That night Tali went home
And took out her blade
And Tali cut her wrist
This was her only escape

But that night she was so upset
That she cut too deep
And out of her wrist
She let the blood seep

Her blood-covered bathroom
Last night tali died
The doctors had told her parents that
Tali had committed suicide

She wanted to die
Because She never fit in
Just close your eyes for a sec
And put yourself in her position

Imagine being bullied
Since the day you started school
Just for being different
Some people can be so cruel

Those people are us
We did this to her
We sent her over the edge
And there are some lessons to be learned

Never leave people out
And watch for all the signs
Of people that are in need
Of anything in sight

Some might need food
Some might need a friend
But no matter what they need
You can be there helping hand

A dream should not be crushed
No matter whose dream
The person should not matter
But as it seems

For some it is just too tough
And us peers just make it worse
So remember one last thing
Before your actions cannot be reversed

If you see someone in need
No second thought, no second glance
Because what you may not know
Is you may be there last chance
