Gedicht: She's quiet.

She's the loudest of them all
She looks everyone in their eyes, fears no one.
She loves to wear short shirts, she's proud of her body.
Friends are always near her.

She's been quiet for the last past months.
What's going on with her? Why does she stare down all the time?
She wears her sleaves till her wrists, even in the summer
She's Always alone.

Now, she's quiet.
She looks no one in their eyes, cause hers are closed.
She wears a long sleaved shirt, but the cuts on her wrists are visible.
Her friends and family are around her.
But not smiling like they used to.
She's sleeping.
forever.

You can ask yourself the question, what changed her? But that question is locked up and gone with the soul of the girl.
And the next girl is waiting in line.
The pain they carry is indescribably.
But the most painful of all
is that there's no one who can help her.
Only she can.
