This is a poem that I wrote years ago.
She Wanted to LiveShe sat in a dark corner,
Playing back the hatred in her mind.
They were cruel and unforgiving.
Not one of them was kind.
She felt alone and empty,
Ashamed and used;
She felt it every day.
If only someone had told her,
If someone had just shown her the way.
She killed herself that night.
She killed herself because no one was there.
No one told her the truth.
She couldn't see the light.
