The Ballad of a Broken One
December 8, 2014
She's fine...
They all say
When she stopped caring anymore
She'll live...
They all agree
When she cries and run away
She's bluffing!...
They all shouted
About the cuts upon her arms
She's lying!...
They all sneered
When she begged for someone's help
She wouldn't!...
They all laughed
As she left for school that day
She was a saint....
They all concluded
When she put a bullet through her brain
We don't know why.......
They all lie.......
In an attempt to justify.......
