Pain was all she felt

I knew her once, now not so much

Her death was like falling asleep slow at first then suddenly there was nothing

No one noticed her death

They still don't

They think she is still there but she hasn't been around for a long time

She sits and waits for people to notice but they refuse

Looking at her you wouldn't notice that how dead on the inside she was

She liked it better that way, less stress, less hurt, less reasons to punish herself

No one noticed when she skipped a meal or two

They didn't see the red marks from her pushing her pencil just a bit too hard as she drags it across her arm

They didn't want to see so they didn't

It hurt at first,

She wanted people to see that something wasn't right

But no one did

After feeling that deep aching pain she decided it wasn't worth it

So she simply stopped

The thing was, no one noticed that either

No one seemed to care

Nothing has changed

She is just drifting,

floating through life ignoring all that should have her focus

She no longer eats more than a sandwich a day but if she does eat more she becomes extremely nauseous

She doesn't try in her classes but her teachers don't seem to notice or care

In the end all she could think was "why? Why keep living? Why go through all of this pain?"

in the end she got her answer

"No one cares, your time has come"

And with that she plucked up the courage and pulled the razor blade across her arm

Loving the feel of the pain and the sight of her own blood

That was the last thing she saw,

her own blood cascading down her arm to form a pool beneath her body

She knew that it was finally over

All of the pain and hurt,

the sadness and despair

The hunger that seemed unending

It was finally over

No need for pain and punishments

No fear of others hurting her

No more questions about why she kept her head down when walking

No more questions about why she seems to always be wearing black or always in a jacket

No more social interactions

Just no more

The idea that it was all over should have made her mad, scared even

But that wasn't the case

She felt surprisingly happy

That feeling is something that she hasn't felt in a very long time

No one will remember her when she is gone

No one cared when she was here so why should they

No one understands how much their words actually affect others

Because of that she is gone

Because of that she has lost her will to live

Because of that she killed herself

No one was there to catch her when she started to fall

No one was there to support her

Everyone expected her to help them but when the time came they always left her on her own

They always seemed to busy to help her

She didn't mind people have always let her down

So why should this time be any different?

She once was smart, kind, pretty even

She never thought that she was good enough

Never thought she was pretty

Never thought she was nice enough

Sure she helped one specific teacher all the time but plenty or people did that

What made her special?

NOTHING

No one cared about her and no one ever will

How could they?

She was damaged goods

How could someone ever love someone like her?
