Sometimes You Don't Realize

Nobody understood her, nobody tried to. To everyone she was an outcast. She tried so hard to explain her feelings and why she was the way she was but nobody would listen and try to understand until it was too late.
At her funeral, her family tried so hard to give a touching Eulogy, trying to remember her for the person she was, but how can they when they didn't know her, they didn't want to get to know the real her. She was a stranger to them, to everyone, because no one ever gave her a chance. No one wanted to get to know the "weird girl", except for Tommy. He was the only one who bothered to get to know her, the only one who truly knew her. He knew she had issues but he looked past them and wanted to be her hero. He saw so much when he looked into those big, beautiful eyes. He fell in love the moment he looked into those eyes. She felt like he was doing so much for her but she had nothing to give in return. She felt so helpless, like such a burden. Little did she know, he had issues too. He was just really good at hiding them. That's why they clicked so well, that's one reason he fell in love with her because she was just as damaged as he was, they understood each other, and helping her helped him. Made him feel important, until the day she took her own life. She felt so down, so sick of life and everyone judging her, no one giving her a chance, so she selfishly took her life thinking no one would care, everyone would get over it and continue living their lives, after all, no one really knew her. Little did she know, that wasn't the case. Now someone else is gone, someone else took their life because she was the only thing he had left. The only reason he stayed around was because of her, but since she wasn't around anymore he felt he had nothing else to live for. It's just a shame she didn't realize how important she was to someone before she took her life. Two people are now gone because no one tried to get to know the incredible people they were.

There may be a time in your life where you feel worthless, powerless, like no one would care or miss you if you ended your life, but that's not true, there is at least one person out there who would be so devastated if you end your life, they may spiral out of control or may end up taking their life as well. So please think about the people you would be leaving behind. Suicide is never the answer! Thanks for Reading. Hope you all enjoy!
