A silent death

Today I got some very sad news, a friend of the family had passed on.
She was young, maybe twenty years old or so, she wasn't very strong.
Mentally, she lost herself through the years.
Suicide is what it appears.
She didn't know how to handle her mental illness.
So drugs is what numbed her pain, her life became one big mess.
Her parents tried to help her, but they only made matters worse.
She was in brutal pain every day, oh how she hurt.
From this happy go lucky child to a messed up twenty year old.
Her soul she had sold.
From drugs to prostitution was her life.
Sorrowfully came her strife.
Suicide is how she left the world with many in tears.
So young and so pretty, but was lost in her fears.
Instead of one day preparing a wedding, her parents will be saying goodbye.
The tears won't be happy ones, instead they will cry.
Instead of talking about love and marriage they will be talking about Suicide.
There must have been signs that were over looked or the pain she knew how to hide.
Sometimes in our busy world we forget about what is around us.
We over look the pain and embrace the love.
If one person was there to help her maybe she would of still been alive.
If one person watched over her she may have survived.
