Pain She Feels

Written on TWLOHA day, this poem goes out to anyone suffering alone in the dark.

Does no one hear

Her cries at night,

Does no one know her hurt?

Why we just

Pass right by,

Why do we just ignore?

I know we see

Tears in her eyes,

We see the pain she feels.

And yet we act

Like she's just fine

We pretend that the hurts will heal.

We pretend that

The cuts on her wrists

Don't exist, she's really okay.

And we'll keep thinking

Exactly that

Until she takes her own life away.
