Bruises and Scars

The bruises and scars on her body is a reminder of her broken life.
She goes to school and gets pushed around, knocked down.
Just adds to the bruises and scars that's already on her broken body.
The teachers look away and ignores her pain.
She goes home and gets beat for no reason but being born.
The neighbors can hear her screams but turns up their tv.
She's cold and alone,
She has no where to go,
She cuts herself because that's all she can control.
The bruises and scars goes deeper then just the top layers of skin.
She wants to die.
Maybe she just wants to be saved from this life.
Why is it so hard to take her hands and save her life?
She's a beautiful girl but no one can see behind the bruises and scars.
Why are you watching her die?
Her best friend turned her back on the broken girl to be apart of the "in" crowed.
I wish I could of known her,
I'd never turn my back on her,
I'd take hold of her cold hands and help her escape the pain of death.
The bruises and scars will remain deep inside her mind.
The beautiful broken girl was brave enough to save herself from all the pain everyone put her through.
The next person won't be so lucky to escape that pain alive.
So don't cast your eyes to the side,
Take hold of their hands and save their life before they die.
But the bruises and scars will remain in the back of their minds.
