&quot;Don&#039;t judge a book by its cover because the words inside can be way different then the picture on the cover.&quot;<br /> &quot;Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.&quot;

She cries herself to sleep,
but no one can hear her weep.
The amazing things she can do with her life,
Instead she traps the knife.
She is filled with grief,
As she bleeds, she feels the relief.
She is now wilted,
What a life yet wasted.
