Take Notice

She wakes up every morning
To the sound of her alarm
And adds another cut
To the collection on her arm

Thinking she’s alone
That no one knows her pain
But everyone surrounding her
Is under the same strain

The classmate she ignores
Sits and wonders why
What is the point of my life?
Why do I even try?

Her teacher that she despises
Keeps a bottle in her purse
She thinks it helps her problems
From getting any worse

Her best friend returns every night
To find an empty home
She cries herself to sleep
Because she feels so alone

So self involved
We rarely ever take pass
Of the people that we meet
Or are sitting in our class

Maybe if we took the time
To truly understand
We could help each other out
With this world’s cruel demands
