Where ever you are
Columbus, OH
Dear Ms. Carmon,
You took my best friend away from me
But he’s in heaven now
set free
What did you gain from this?
Was it a game?
Was this just something to mark off your list?
Why make my life hell?
Abusing me for no reason
When you really should be in a cell.
But I’m sure you know that
Instead of let free
with a pat on your back
Were you jealous?
Of me? I’m eleven, you’re 30.
So you had to play dirty?
Skew the little girl, right?
This will all be over
at the dead of the night.
I had all his attention
And you couldn’t handle that
So you shot him
watching him fall on his back
Laying there on the porch
With my heart in his hand
Being burned by a torch
And maybe you didn’t get attention from your dad
And I agree that’s sad.
But that wasn’t my fault
And you got caught!
You wanted me to experience the same pain you experience
Well I did.
But I was just a kid
Are you happy
That I felt crappy
I fell into depression
And the past became my obsession
I became suicidal
Just staring at the bible
But what good does that do?
Taking out your issues on me
Instead of letting me be
Like I had something to do with your pain
Just stay in your lane
Why couldn’t you let me live
With only love to give
In my happy home
With just me and dad alone
Why do you have so much hate in your heart?
Do you honestly think killing my father was smart?
I can never forget, it’ll never be a blur
May God bless you
For you not understand how ignorant your actions were
