She Tried
They teased her
They told her she's ugly
They laughed at her
They told her she doesn't fit in
They ridiculed her
They made her an outcast
She tried to ignore them
She tried to hide the pain
She tried to be normal
She tried to fit in
She tried to pretend everything was ok
She tried to overcome cancer
But it was their ignorance that made her commit suicide
Not the deadly disease that took robbed her life
