Why Would It Matter? Poem by Katelynn Farris

Why would it matter?
If she died.
Why would it matter?
Nobody cried.
Why would it matter?
You never saw her pain.
Why would it matter?
Suicidal thoughts hard to restrain.
Why would it matter?
Nobody cares.
Why would it matter?
So many stares.
Why would it matter?
If she was no longer here.
Why would it matter?
No future career.
Why would it matter?
If she took her own life.
Why would it matter?
If she caused no more strife.
