Poetic Whispers

Just a phase

It's just a phase.

They said it to the little girl

When at 6

she said she liked a cute girl

In her class.

It's just a phase.

They said it to the little girl

When at 10 she said she wanted to marry a girl.

It's just a phase.

They scoffed and rolled their eyes.

You don't know anything about love.

You're only 13.

It's just a phase.

She said it to herself when at 15

She fell head over heels for her best girl friend.

It's just a phase.

She cried to herself at 16

Alone in her room

Filled with self-loathing.

It's just a phase.

Her mind screamed at 18

When fireworks exploded and she kissed her long time crush.

It's just a phase.

Now she was 20.

Her wrists bled and eyes overflowed.

But it's just a phase.

It's not a phase.

That was her last fleeting thought at 25

Before the rope around her neck tightened and she was silenced for good. It was never a phase.
