To Society: You Killed Her

She died before her actual death Before she took her final breath She was dead before she used that gun You see, you killed her with your tongue. What ultimately made her choice Was the constant sound of your voice Telling her she was no good She died because you wished she would She died when you tore her apart She loved you, but you broke her heart Her friend you pretended to be But you were really the enemy. She died because she felt alone You never called or texted her phone She had no one to call her friend And so her life she chose to end. She died because society Decided who she ought to be But those standards she couldn't meet She died because she did not fit. You really are the ones to blame You heaped her head with loads of shame Her death was ruled a suicide But twas because of you she died.
