Winter 2013 She had the bravery to look death in the face And threw herself at the dark being With the bitter taste of pills and blood against blades Death refused her desperate pleas to end the pain She went to the ER where her mother met her with teary eyes She was interrogated by doctors and social workers They tried to understand what drove her to make such a rash decision No one expected her to end her #life She was a flawless actress She kept up her smile Pulled down her sleeves Held her head up high No one knew the pain she was in The words that hurt Changed her #life forever Fat Ugly Worthless She'd heard them all before From peers and even her own sister And even though her friends believed in her Called her beautiful and strong She couldn't see it Blinded by the negative Never able to see the positive Maybe she wouldn't have even thought about ending her #life If you had kept those cruel words to yourself Instead of forcing them upon her Her #life is changed forever Because you were unable to keep your mouth shut

Maybe Maybe I wasn't good enough Strong enough Pretty enough Thin enough Maybe I just couldn't keep you happy But now you won't talk to me And I'm crying inside I'm getting bad again The thoughts are rushing back The light is getting dimmer Because she has left me.

Lauren I'm in love with a girl who lives two hours away a girl with brown hair and brown eyes who's in love with music who's beautiful and kind who gets flustered in the most adorable way her name is sugar on my tongue she's my drug she's my love my baby I want to cuddle her when she's upset and kiss her nose take care of her when she's sick and cook her food even though I'm the worst chef she's my darling I want to stay up watching movies and talking about absolutely nothing I want to wake her up with kisses and put her to bed the same way I want to be with her. I want to be hers and for her to be mine.

she This is not the story Of a woman scorned Or a violent murder This is the story of She She never felt skinny enough Or pretty enough Or good enough She felt no reason to live But She did not die From self inflicted wounds Or a mountain of pills She died in the arms of a girl who loved With all her heart and soul She cared for Her and made Her happy Her Was the reason She lived to see tomorrow She was the sun in Her sky And when Her time came So did She's They died Together Peacefully sleeping She died knowing She was loved

her This girl is Her Her was She's heart Her was She's soul Together they loved each other more than the world She made Her smile Her made She laugh She made Her live. And She lived and lived. Until Her lived their time. Sleeping together one peaceful summer night Grown old and grey They lay together And both Her and She Went on to live another beautiful #life together In another wonderful world
