The Hidden Pain

We started out in the same grade
When you failed I was upset
When you got new friends I was happy for you
But I never saw
How sad you really were

Behind that smile was pain
As we passed through the years
You joined band, and got more friends
You looked so happy

But if we took a second glance at you
We would know the truth
The reason why you left us last night
Why you took a bullet for relief

The reason why you killed yourself
Alone in your room
At only 14 years of age
We know the truth now
