Poetic Problem Book I

Getting Rid Of Them

It first started with rubbing alcohol mixed into a pastry

To rummers to get them in fights

Before everyone knew it, 

She led them to their end in an alleyway at night.

She told them they were pretty

Told them they were hot

Filling her enemies with lies,

She was the girl the cops forgot.

To framing- To pure minded

They never suspected her

To Lying- To wish dead

She plunged the knife through their shirt

No one saw it coming

Perfect school girl

sent millions running.

  

It all started with some words

several cries that went unheard.

Everyone drove her mad

But see her now and she'd be glad.

She would thank you for catching her in the act

Behind bars was not her end- but the gun pointing to her head,

as she dropped her mask.

You will either never find her, or she will take her own life.

You will either be her friends she protects, or the one she hunts down with a knife.

She always wanted to help people, die for me and you.

But she is only human- she broke- and now there's nothing we can do.

She feared for her life- the lives of others

wondered what killing was like- ended up 6 feet under.

Siblings who never look at her the same- step father in disgust- and a crying mother...

She wanted to die a hero,

lived to long to become a monster.

She took what was precious to everyone

Life became a game

luckily for use- the cops won-

But did they really?

They may have solved the case- caught the girl- but at the end what did they see?

She lifted the weapon- pointed to herself- no one else- and pulled the trigger on the gun...

The biggest smile on her face- 

Tell me had the cops really won?

People don't realize that they are human

They Do Not Realize- When You Push Someone Down, they just might not get up again...

Sometimes- we don't take into consideration,

What we say- what we do- it all falls judgment on our nation.

Everything the people do- it is what titles the story

Everything the people do- it is what creates our community

Everything the People do- it is what makes the conflicts- in majority...

Y'all should be scared

When there are fights about gender and race

And You run towards the fight like you never care

Put yourself in their shoes and think about what it would be like in their position.

Do you want to be beat to the ground- or the other way around-

Do you want to break people? Do you want to be broken?

The words that hurt us the most- are the words that go unspoken.

So just think about it, next time that happens...

You never know what could be going on in someone's mind

You never know- what could be hiding behind the smile of disguise.

From the words we say to the texts we send...

She could be shouting, "Get rid of them..."
