No one knows

unfinished

No one asked if I was happy
Guess they never cared
That their daughter slits her wrists
Deeper than most dared
Taking so many risks
Not caring who stared
At her heavily scarred arms
Only hers to bare

She never realized she was unhappy
No one told her she was
So she cried every day
Afraid of losing their love
Scared of what they'd say
They don't realize what ignorance does
To a soul that is lost
They lose what once was

Not noticing their loss
They continued in bliss
With their lives like uncooked bread
Useless, as they wished
Walking days like the dead
They lived like this
Unknowing of her bed
Covered in blood til the end

Her parents still regret
with every passing day
that they never payed attention
to their child who passed away
She aged six years passed ten
The night she'd gone astray
Her family missed her then
when her cuts went a little too deep
