Scars

I gazed at her arm, at the blade's streak
I could not react; I could not speak

For so long I knew her, I never would've guessed
With all the things she had, I considered her blessed
But I never knew what was going on in her head

I loved her so much, I was shocked
Little did I know she was made fun of, bullied, and mocked

I started seeing things I had never before seen
It was like her perfect life was nothing but a dream

But the dream came to an end
Turns out, she didn't have any loved ones, Turns out she didn't have any friends

Ignored by everyone and constantly being called names
For no reason at all, she was always ashamed

FAT, WEIRD, NERD, UGLY
When she looked in the mirror, she only saw what they see
she kept repeating "I wish I was pretty, I wish they liked me."
But no one ever took her seriously

Blonde locks of curls and blue eyes full of bliss
but with their whispers in her head, all she saw was ugliness

I wish she had told me all of this before
I could've stopped her from destroying herself even more

She kept everything to herself for so long
she thought I didn't care, but she was wrong

I wish she knew how much I cared
I would've helped her; I would've been there

I was racing to tell her, but she had already decided her fate
I was racing to tell her, but when I got there, I was too late.
