The Ghost of Ariton High
Location
As she gets dressed
she looks in the mirror
she says today I will be noticed
she tries to be strong
as she walks through the doors
to her high school again
she walks by all
nobody says hello
no one can see
flawless, so much beauty
she goes to class
never says a word
still no one says hello to her
as everyone stands at break
the loneliness she can not take
in the girls bathroom she cries
nobody ever saw the pain in her eyes
wishing she had a friend
she wishes her life would end
flawless, so much never seen
she sits in the lunch room
all alone but still nobody says hello
all of the years come and go
senior year now we know
graduation day another girl stands up to speak
as she stands a tear rolls down her cheek
she says a girl I once knew
couldn't be here today
now a empty chair sits in her place
sometimes we hold our loved ones so tight
they never get to see the light
forever trapped on this earth alone
flawless, is how she was known
(I wrote this about my best friend her name is Miranda R. Sheppard she passed away when we were 13. she had cystic fibrosis its a disease that she was born with it eats away at parts of your amune system. I understood that I was going to lose her one day, there was no way of stopping it. Intead of dreading the day I was going to lose her I became her bestfriend. I tried for all of our time together to help her live her life to the fullest. This seinor year there will be a chair in her place and these are the words im going to stand up and say. Thank you for reading. In memory of Miranda's legacy. )
