The Roomate

Location

The roommate

 

Why me?

The roommate from hell

Was mine

 

Why me?

She made fun of me

And stole my things

 

Why me?

She made me cry

I made her cry too

 

Why me?

She had epilepsy

I did not feel bad

 

Why me?

She had tourettes

It annoyed me

 

Why me?

She made a list

Of what she hated about me

 

Why me?

She hated me

I hated her

 

Why me?

She was mean

I was nice

 

Why me?

She tried to steal my boyfriend

But he was mine

 

Why me?

She tried

To kill my fish

 

Why me?

She slammed the door

I closed it quietly

 

Why me?

She locked me out

And hid my key

 

Why me?

She sold me out

I kept everything to myself

 

Why me?

She plagiarized

By taking my lab reports

I caught her

 

Why me?

She drove me to the edge

I transferred schools

 

Why me?

The school would not help me

We had a mediation

Why me?

She was still mean

And did  not respect me

 

Why me?

The hatred grew so deep

It made my eyes cringe

 

Why me?

My grades slipped

I was preoccupied,

With her…

 

Why me?

My first year of college

Ruined

 

Why me?

I worked

Her image still burned

Through my pupils

 

Why me?

She stalked my family

Believed she was

Part of my family

 

Why me?

She was just my roommate

She was a terrible roommate

She ruined my college experience

 

Why me?

Why my family?

Why my college experience?
