She walked through the halls with her head hanging down.
She tried so hard to hide, but when you live in a small town

Everybody knows, Everybody sees that she's
Broken in side she is terrified.
Lost and hopeless with no where to hide.
The words she heard, she tried to forget
Kids telling her that she should commit

As time went on, everything got worse.
She ran into the bathroom as her tears began to burst.
They were calling her names, even her friends, she just wished everything would come to an end.

Everybody knows,
Everybody sees
she's trying to be okay
but it gets harder everyday.
She looks in the mirror and hates what she sees
"Make this stop, please"

"I can't take it anymore,
Im trying but its hard
My head hurts from crying My wrists are scarred."

When she got home, she ran to her room
She slammed the door shut and the crying resumed

She looked at her phone and read what they're saying
From the way she looked, how much she was weighing

She threw her phone and sat in her bed
Trying to get the sucidal thoughts out of her head.

Everybody knows
Everybody sees that she's
not okay, can't live this way
She's falling apart and everyone knows
“Honey that’s high school, it’s just how it goes”
"I can't take it anymore,
Im trying but its hard
My head hurts from crying My wrists are scarred."

She couldn't take it anymore
She opened her nightstand drawer
Started to cry, and took a razor to her thigh

She laid back down and cried her pain away
Unsure if she'd wake up the next day

When she got up in the morning, her mom noticed something wrong
She looked her in the eyes and asked her what is going on

I tried to ignore it mom but it won't go away. I don't even want to go to school today.

Her mom held her tight and kissed her on the head Her mom looked at her and said, "It will be okay. You just have to be strong. How could kids treat you so wrong?"

Everybody knows, Everybody sees that she's
holding back her tears
as much as she can
She had taken more than she could stand.
Her mom said goodbye and walked out the door.
As soon as she left, the tears began to pour.

She grabbed bottle of pills, whatever she could find.
She started at the bottle and had no doubt in her mind. She opened it up and poured it in her hand.
"Im supposed to grow up, this isn't what I planned.

"I can't take it anymore
Im trying but its hard
My head hurts from crying My wrists are scarred."

She shoved the pills down her throat, every last one.
As she played back down she thought to herself, what have I done.

But it was too late,  she couldn't take the hate. She calmed down, and laid in her bed. She knew that her life was coming to an end.

A few hours later her mom mom came home. She walked through the door, and at her bags down. She called her daughters name but didn't hear a sound.

She rushed in her room and saw her in the bed. Little did she know about the bottle of meds.

She bent down and tried to wake her. Screaming her name alarming the neighbors. She got down and dropped to her knees, she folded her hands and said "Please!".

She grabbed her daughters phone to call 911 but then she saw messages and screenshots of what the kids had done. She skimmed over the posts and saw what was being said, all because of this my little girl is dead.

Her mother blamed herself, for what had happened But maybe if the school did something she wouldn't of had to take action.

Her poor little girl, she was supposed to grow up. Graduate high school, start a family and now thats all messed up. She lost everything, her future and all. Just because of a situation that was so small.

No one seems to realize the power of words and actions. I hope those kids that caused this are full of satisfaction. Its nobody fault but theirs, the cruel words they said. Caused this sweet little girl to end up dead.

by Billie Holiday is one of the most tragic and disturbing songs ever recorded. “Strange Fruit” is about the practice of lynching – when a group of people kill someone for an offense, usually by hanging, without a legal trial. This was common at the time the song was released. Listeners should really pay attention to the lyrics and understand the story behind them.

In my piece, I would like to bring awareness to bullying. I have experienced whats its like to be a victim of bullying. After years of being torn down, I finally am able to share my story with others to help them get through it. By creating this piece, I am able to shed light on the subject in a positive way. I believe the story behind the song is the most influential. I will be composing a touching song. Piano is my initial instrument.

by Logic brings awareness to suicide. Through the song, Logic sings "I don't want to be alive, I just want to die today". By the end of the song he sings "I finally wanna be alive I don't want to die". This shows there is hope and things can get better. The song also features singers Alessia and Khalid. Listeners can witness that by having more singers, they know they're not alone. This piece is very inspiring and touching.

is about human trafficking and the perspective what it’s like to be a sex slave. Francois tells a story with his lyrics, "She paints on a smiling face
and tries to forget the last cold embrace.
She wants to run away.
Can't face another day.
She'd rather join the dead than spend the night with strangers in her bed." Listeners can witness his tone throughout the piece. It shows the feelings he has toward the subject and how compassionate his is about making a change.
