Why Would a 12-Year Girl Want To Die?

Why would a 12-year girl want to die? What would make a 12-year-old girl end her life? Why would a 12-year-old girl want to say goodbye? Now I lay here with an empty bottle of pills by my side. It was just too much to hide. My little brother found me on my bathroom floor. He went screaming out the door. The ambulance came and I heard voices fading away. I can still make out what they say. Why would a 12-year girl want to die? What would make a 12-year-old girl end her life? Why would a 12-year-old girl want to say goodbye? Now I lay in a hospital bed. He can’t hurt you anymore the nurse said. Thank god the gun box was locked. Now theirs a knock. The cops came in and said my sister talked. They said after what my father did he will never walk. Why would a 12-year girl want to die? What would make a 12-year-old girl end her life? Why would a 12-year-old girl want to say goodbye? He came in my room at night. Something’s a child just cant fight. Tired of living with this dirty feeling. Tired of all together feeling. Why Daddy Why? Why would you make me cry, lie, and all-together die? Why would a 12-year girl want to die? What would make a 12-year-old girl end her life? Why would a 12-year-old girl want to say goodbye? Mom didn’t know. She said it wasn’t my fault and beyond my control. They said there were more. They just were scared to come forward before. Now I’m on the stand facing a child molester. The lawyer asks my father. Why would a 12-year girl want to die? What would make a 12-year-old girl end her life? Why would a 12-year-old girl want to say goodbye? What did you do that was so bad that your daughter wanted to die?
