She cried,
She cried the tears
That made her
Feel weak,
The tears that
Made her cry
More.

She cried,
Every time she
Thought about
It,
She cried.

She cried,
When she overdosed
On ibuprofen,
To take away the pain.

She cried,
When they called her
Worthless.

She cried,
When she made
The first cut.

She cried,
When she looked
In the mirror.

She cried,
When she picked
Up the bottle.

She cried,
As she wrote
The note.

She smiled,
When she tried
Again.

Why did she smile?

Because,

It worked.
