a single red scarf

Scarf hanging from the rafter
Blue, red and white lights flash from the drive
Zipper closes a black bag yawning open
Tears run down faces of a torn apart family
Body laying motionless in darkness
Sad, sweet smile on its lips
Panic in its eyes
Feet jumped
Fingers clawed at the scarf
Single word uttered

Wait

It was too late
Sealed was that terrible fate
A world full of Ill perceived hate
Death jokes and forced to be straight
Taken their toll after how many years? 8?

Age, 15
Eyes, once light green
Now empty, dead and panicked from all the horror they've seen
Skin with a deathly unhealthy sheen

And now it's over
Living no more
The body of the one
All their friends did adore
Never again the soul from that body will laugh
Nor check out the hottie that had just walked past
Suicide isn't beautiful
But You are, inside and out

The world isn't against you
Everone is for themselves
