Mourning Skies

"Friends"

Oh, my dear, how could you

Say those words you said.

Was it truly that you really

Wished I was dead?

I remember at lunch

Which I never are

Your friends all around you

Emitted their hate

I sat down beside you

And everyone glared

I stared back, confused,

Their look you shared

You asked why I was there

And I said I was your friend

Everyone growled

I felt the approaching end

Their faces morphed in anger

And twisted in disgust

You fell under their spell

And begged them for their trust

Strong hands grabbed my wrist

And I fell onto the floor

I felt the burn of tears

And ran out of the door

It was the fifteenth time this week

I finally had enough

I stormed into the bathroom

And grasped the ground so rough

Laughter filled the room

And the girls grabbed on my hair

My head went into the water

And silently remained there

They yanked me out, still laughing

And snickered at my face

I stood up before them

Felt my heart begin to race

I opened my mouth

But got pushed to the wall

I felt my body

Begin to fall

Their laughter kept ringing

And I screamed out my fears

Some teachers found me but

Their words fell upon deaf ears

Today I'm alone

And I haven't spoken to this day

But everyone around me

Thinks I'm okay

I'm alone with my razor

And on this very night

I'm turning the lights off

I've lost this damn fight
