The Beautiful Teen
The trees sway
With the wind so strong
The sky turns gray
There was nothing among
Dead silence sweeps
Through the woods so deep
A little girl stares
Through the midnight air
Scared and cold
She sees something move
Not just an animal
But a tree stump too
All of the sudden everything moves
All of the sudden everything’s new
The scared little girl was internally screaming
But she just stood there and continued breathing
She remained calm for 16 years
Then suddenly she burst into tears
She grabbed something sharp
And started to cut
“I’m so weak” she said “I feel like a mutt”
“I don’t belong here”
“I’m such a waste”
Then an angel appeared in front of her face
“Are you here to save me?” The girl asked in fear
The angel responded with nothing but tears
The girl thought the angel wouldn’t listen
She was confused as the angel glistened
The little girl felt so alone
She just wanted to give up and go home
But home wasn’t a house where she had everything
Her home was heaven
Where she could go in a blink
She hated herself
Who she was and who she would become
So she made the decision to be done
She grabbed something lethal
Tried to end it all
Then the angel stopped her and stood up tall
“You’re better than this” she said
“You’re hurting more than yourself”
The little girl cried “I just want to rest”
“Forever and ever until the end of time”
“I’m going home where I’ll be fine”
The angel simply would not let go
That lethal weapon she held on like so
The girl pulled and pulled until her knees went weak
“I just want to go home, can’t you let me be?”
The angel spoke only once more
“Nobody in your life would be the same for sure”
The scared little girl came to a realization
The most people who hated her
Were in her imagination
She stood up and stretched
Reaching high for the sky
She did all this
As she wiped her eyes dry
Once a scared little girl
Now a beautiful teen
But now you must realize
That teen is me…
