Off To Another World
A girl sits with the book,"Peter Pan," in hand
A bandage on her arm held by a rubber band,
Holding the cuts that won't stop to bleed
Tears won't stop as they continue to creep
She just wants out of here
A place where she will be dear,
Not stuck as a pawn
Everyone hoping she would be gone
She knew what to say,"
Please, someone save me from this land
A life that she had planned
A life where she smiles
Happiness for miles
This blood of mine
Holding me down,
I wish for a change
From a stronger hand,”
Somewhere above
The moon shows,
A precious smile
With sad tears that glow
“Come with me,” He said
“Away from the pain everywhere, even in your head
Everything will go away
If you say,’Okay.’ “
The words rolled of her tongue
As a smile appears on her face,
She whispers,”Thank,”
As we go to a better place
This new land
Is better than she expected,
New people who are grand
As her happiness just added
The friends she made
Were the best in every way,
The fun that was played
Made her day
It was time to sleep
All said to each other,”Good night,”
Making her weep
Chocking as she sadly replied,”See you at daylight.
But promise to not fight,”
Crying could be heard around
A child asked her why,
But she began to see white
Meaning it was almost her time to fly,
So she quickly answered,”
Angels got to go home
I would be staying in the sky,
And if you ever feel the need to cry
Just look up and say hi.”
