Everyone says it was my fault
But it was am accident, honest
She fell I didn't push her
But why am I being punished
I sit in the corner of my room
I hear screaming
Rocks being thrown at my window
Telling me I should die
But why?
I didn't do it
It wasn't my fault
I just wanted to get out
I JUST WANTED TO LEAVE!
I haven't eaten in 3 days
We were supposed to leave together
Why did she slip?
Why did she save me?
No one believes me!
Everyone says it was my fault
It was really an accident, honest
She fell I didn't push her
So why must I be punished?

**Have you ever been punished for something you didn't do?**
