Even the Mighty Will Fall
Location
Do you not see your hurting her from the inside out
That soon tears that wish to rain become a sullen drought
Misery from the mornings start
Till night when the sun departs
No wounds visible for the eye to see
Just a child’s soul screaming to be free
To be free from her hell on earth
A new life dreamt to rebirth
Do you not see that mask she holds upon her face
A walking lie she begs to erase
From the moment she wakes
Knowing she will only make mistakes
Feeling suffocated yet alone
Wishing this life she could only postpone
This facade she can’t help but portray
A stereotypical teenager everyday
Behind that mask is a girl in pain
These chains that seem to remain
Holding her back from her life she wants
But a ghastly past that remands to haunt
The sound of a beautiful laugh her way
Though a silent cry she wishes to not display
Eyes that brighten the darkest rooms
Yet this misery still consumes
Beauty that rivaled Venus herself
If only she knew her worth itself
Loved by all but her
To vanish from this life she’d gladly prefer
One night she broke down and cried
Feeling many different emotions collide
The Weight of her life crashing down into pieces
To which her depression increases
With a knife in her hand
Though this wasn’t the original plan
That Night a life was then lost
And what would be that cost
A family soon destroyed
From a pain that they could only avoid
A School soon torn in two
Blame and guilt that no one could undo
A beautiful soul gone before her time
And yet who would be punished for this grim crime
Could she have been saved
For someone to set her free like she craved
A harsh cruel world braved alone
Even surrounded it was unbeknown
A feeling like this could happen to any being
It just takes a little foreseeing
To save a life that was destined to live
Before it’s something we wish to forgive
When we’re forced to bury another young soul
Seeming to lose all control
Unchain your eyes to see the truth
What is happening more to the youth
A life gone here and there
Yet people still turn their eyes from the despair
Even the popular hide many dark lies
In any form of shape or disguise
Depression breaks our hearts to a weak state
Until death we unknowingly await
What can be done
From what has already been begun
A Life to save
Before we further their life to a grave
Even the mighty will fall
To an end that we wished to never recall
