What can I be?
Shall I be another person,
Wasted talent on a fast-food job,
Living paycheck to paycheck,
No smiles, only dread,
Another lifeless body roaming the streets.
My mom and my dad were looking at each other.
I knew it had to be serious.
Dad always blinked a lot when he was scared or nervous.
He also tapped his foot on the floor.
He looked older when he didn’t smile.
Stone, I waited on the couch,
Listening with every fiber of my being.
Unmoved, I squeezed tight my breath,
Hoping to hear words which weren’t there.
But the words that were there
Life was taken away too quickly,
No one knows why it had to be,
It left a hole in our hearts,
We remember the life that touched us so deeply.
One day my whole life changed
Everything around me was suddenly rearranged
When I heard what happened
It was was worse than I could have ever imagined
You were gone in a blink of an eye
7:30, i hit the button.By 8, i'm out the house. Running late but still get coffee.Nothing's stopping me now.On the the way to class, i saw my friend.It looked like she had cried.
A hard world we live in today
It's almost like the ultimate video game
But unlike a game there is no resetting
No pausing
And definitely No extra lives
But these harsh realities are often ignored
If innocence were bottled up in human form, she would be the epistle within
Her chestnut hair glistens underneath the morning sun
Her dark eyes possess a thousand, mystifying riddles
I will never understand why you died
Yes I know the reason why
Someone bullied you
And said mean things about you
But why did it affect you
You are beautiful
And you are smart
