Maybe

she had no friends to talk to
her parents were always gone
and no matter what kind of chioces she made
they'd tell her she was wrong
she kept the feelings deep inside
and the thoughts that she possessed
until she couldn't take it anymore
so to herself she confessed
Her life was no longer worth living
she thoguht no one would care
and as she lay awake at night
this pain she could not bear
she slowly sat up on her bed
and wished that she was dead
she got up and she grabbed a gun
and put it to her head
she ended her life right then and there
with no one to oversee
as she closed the door that gave her life 
and threw away the key
No longer on earth and unable to see
 her voice now can't be heard
she now wished that she would have thought
and wondered why this she preferred
something that she did not know
is that she had it all wrong
that many people missed her 
once they found out she was gone
for the people who ignored her
what she did made them think
that maybe if they had ever tried
her life wouldn't have had to sink
maybe if she would have changed
maybe if once she decided to try
then maybe she might still be alive
and wouldn't have felt the need to die
maybe if someone showed their love 
and acted like they cared
then she might still be alive
with joy, hope and love to share
maybe if she wouldn't have made
the things in life seem so bad
then maybe she could have turned her life around
and been happy for the life she had
