"That Girl" Suicide Prevention
She wakes up in the morning and wonders how she is going to make it
But she has a smile on her face, and it must look legit,
Because no one realizes she fakes it
Maybe it’s because she’s always joking
She’s been told that she appears to never have a care in the world
That smile, it must be working
Pearly whites that give off the illusion that she never had to fight
Long flowing hair
she stays neatly groom
She must be doing alright
But I’m telling you none of those smiles are true
Sometimes you must take a closer look at the person who laughs with you
You might be surprised at what you see
Who is that girl who stares back?
I do not recognize her
She’s change and that’s a fact
She no longer smiles the way she used to
Nor does she laugh constantly
The difference? It’s almost shocking
She’s hurting inside
And she’s not sure why
Something is missing from her
Maybe it’s her pride?
Or the strong urge to hide her feelings from everyone she knows
Take my advice, don’t be that girl
Please! Resist the change
It’s not easy living in her world
Where everyone thinks your life is so good
There’s no one to reach out to
Nothing you do will ever be understood
Because you’re worried of what they may say
So you carry the pain around from day to day
It becomes a burden and until you say something
No will ever know you’re hurting
And personally, I don’t think that’s worth enduring
But, this is the life of “That Girl”
And it will stay the same until someone recognizes the warnings
Instead of ignoring
We need to start luring in our peers
As we all know “suicide”
Is the last word we all want to hear
We refuse to confront the topic
As we are consumed by fear
Deep in your mind you think
“Maybe this could be true”,
but you feel guilty and you don’t want any anger directed towards you,
so you stay silent
But you can’t tell me you never noticed the signs
Refusing to acknowledge the fact that life is a test
The depression
the aggression
the angered expressions
The realization that people in life are either blessing or a lesson
Yet, that girl does not know this
She lives in the here and the now
And since her now is sad
She is convinced that her future will be none other than bad
Since there is no one around to persuade her otherwise
She only hears negativity and lies
One day when she is fed up,
and her body decides it no longer has the strength to cry
She will make a decision
within the blink of an eye
To the world she will seem
foolish and misguided
But she’s been thinking about it for a while
She’s gotten tired of the overused fake smile
That girl decided to handle her problems the best way she knows how
Because no one gotten through to her
There seems to be no other reason to remain on this earth
So she ends it
She leaves behind world full of opportunities
And days where the sun would shine once again
But that girl will never know that,
because that was her end @huggies921
