Sad Poems for a Sad Day

From the Sky

Up from the sky the little girl came

Shining like the sun, such a beautiful dame.

Maybe it wasn’t her body, or face or hair

But maybe the way she was kind and fair.

But alas in this world, that doesn’t matter

Because all she could hear was the constant chatter

She’ll never fit in, she’s what no boy wants

All people said were constant taunts.

And so the girl hated the earth

And she constantly pondered over her worth.

For why would the heavens give her away?

Barely able to survive another day.

And so she went as high as she could,

And looked to sky so maybe it would

Take back the constant pain

And take her back home again.

And so she looked up at the sky

And kissed the stars goodbye.

With the wind whipping her messy hair

Leaving with a smile, not a tear.

And back from the ground again she rose

Back to life she wish she chose.

Up, up, up and away

Never to see another day.
