Smile

see that smile
it seems real
you would never know she's suicidal
there are so many things she must feel

there is always a label
it was pasted on
she was never able
till she was gone

the blood that flowed inside
as it spilled on the floor
the blades were never pried
from her hands when she wanted more

the crimson out of her wrist
she knew she wouldn't be missed

This poem says a lot in a few words. It has great impact and stabs at the heart. It is one of my favourites. I knew a few people who took their own lives. It is a mystery why they did it.
