A Little Girl

A little girl,
With no shoulder to cry on,
Took her pills for a whirl,
Now her minds gone.

She was once,
Truly happy,
Had hope in abundance, 
Now she feels only apathy,
And Death's presence.

Why was it so terrible? 
What could make a young life,
So unbearable,
That it could end in such grief.

You must worry when,
Tic Tac's transform to oxy,
And you succumb to addiction,
In a terrible form of self cruelty.
