So She Stood

A girl stood upon a hill
Her long hair dark and black
And as the sun set you could see
The joy her eyes did lack
Her voice was soft and velvety
Just like a lovely song
But there were no words in this piece
And notes of sorrow were long
Her happiness had long since fled
For no one seemed to care
She was a person unto herself
Her feelings she could not share
At school no one seemed to notice
Her dreadful state of mind
For she acted like a normal child
So courteous and refined
Her grades were not yet slipping
Her laughter still soft but there
Truly it was not evident
How she no longer seemed to care
People always liked her
For she would listen to what youd say
And never would she interrupt
No matter what the time of day
Many saw her as a friend
But if they looked inside
They would see the blackness of the void
And certainly be terrified
She never judged by appearances
Was always quick to forgive
And if you ever looked at her
Youd never think she lost her will to live
For some she was too perfect
Representing the faultless kid
The person who did all too well
And they hated what she did
As long as she felt the anger
And never felt the love
The friendship never touched her heart
Until death closed its icy glove
No one could understand
Why she chose to end her life
"But she seemed to be so happy,
With no restraint or any strife."
Parents seemed bewildered
Friends were lost in thought
And the girl did hover as a ghost
For one thing she still sought
She saw that people truly did
Care for her that day
And many people wept and cried
Their feelings they couldnt say
It was not easy at that point
For her to just let go
For her real reason for leaving was
She did not think they would know
She knew now that people cared
Though it was hard to see
And if you did indeed really look
It wasnt hard to believe
And so she stood upon that hill
A new one, different ground
And as she went to heaven then
A smile, but no sound
