"They start to care."
February 9, 2014
You walk in,
Take a seat.
Head in your hands,
As you cry in defeat.
No one noticed as you walked by,
That you were depressed.
Prepared to die.
You held it in for way too long,
As you exhale a breath,
Mind playing a song.
You hold the object,
In your trembling hand.
What your about to do,
Is defintitely banned.
But you don't mind,
It's better than life.
You feel the shivering coldness,
Of the sharp knife......
A teacher walks in,
She hears a sound.
She stops in her tracks,
And turns around.
She opens the stall ,
The color red,
Coats the white bathroom wall.
Terrified,
She lifts her head.
She had just realized,
Her student is now dead.
Before,
No one had even dared.
Now that someone dies,
They start to care.

ASDKJFHDFBG THIS IS SO GOOD AND SO SAD I LOVE IT
The world goes on without care and people just pass by as if there's no trouble in the world.
They say that there is 4,400 suicide deaths per year.
Which is just plain sad.
What's even sadder is that these deaths are from bullying.
I will admit that I was once a bully but didn't realize it.
We've all been a bully before.
Don't deny it.
Even if you weren't aware, it's still considered bullying.
People shouldn't have to resort to this.
Believe me.
I've tried at least 8 times. Don't do through that stage.
You can ask for help and start your life all over again. I wouldn't want you to suffer and resort to something as terrible as this. We can prevent bullying if we tried.
And stick up for ourselves! Believe in yourself.
Trust me,
You aren't alone.
And to me that's truly,
The best kind of home.
