Silently Killed Poem by Katy Lue

She was a good student
with good grades and all,
she hung with good friends
good judgement and all,

she had good aspirations
a good job in mind,
hopes and dreams
but silently cried,

For she she knew all her hard work
would be all for nothing,
because she wouldn't live to carry out anything,

Her smiles were fake
her laughs all posed,
her heart full of secrets that nobody knows,

Her friends didn't know
her parents no hint,
her teachers and coaches were never let in,

She was completely alone
with life eating secrets,
they ate away at her soul
until death was beneath them,

She wrote one last letter
signed X's and O's,
then stole her dad's gun
and shot her eyes closed,

That night her parents found her
bloody and pale,
then they found her letter
that silently killed,
It read:

I'm sorry to do this,
I love you all so,
but I was dying inside,
and I had to let go,
it's nothing you did,
just the secrets I kept,
they're the only reason my life had to end


Her parents wept
her frienda all cried,
her teachers and coaches were all teary eyed,

Then one day her friend read the letter again
and asked:

'What secrets caused our friend's life to end?
