I am...
I am a girl
who lays in this black box of death
in front of you.
I am a "Nerd of Science",
but when someone asks about my mother and
father,
I got silent.
The smell of smoke covers my jacket and
the fear in my eyes was all I needed to say.
The "Home of disappointment" was what I call it
as tears filled my eyes.
I talked of a masked figure who did something
so unbearable to even speak of but
it ruined me.
A day before I passed, I spoke of how the smell of beer
would travel throughout the house and
how "I hate you" was a more common thought than
"I love you".
As I sat down on a bench next to my best friend, I asked,
"How will people remember me and all I have done?".
I was suppose to give her my answer today but
instead I'm lying in this beautiful black dress and
most of you here, I'm seeing for the first time and
I ask you this,
"Was this the type of life you intended for me?
to be beaten,
teased,
played, and
finally killed?
was that the life I deserved?"
I know I didn't except that for myself.
I excepted a life full of enjoyment and
happiness but
someone in this very room thought otherwise.
Someone killed me and
made me miss the rest of my beautiful life.
They didn't shoot me or
stab me in the heart...
No...
They took the very meaning of life and
crumbled it into million pieces.
They made me feel as though I didn't matter,
as if I wasn't important and
no one cared about me.
I would have been so much happier if they would have just shot me.
They made me suffer.
Rope in hand,
I climbed to my death.
I wore it as a necklace and
soon it tightened.
I struggled to gain freedom but
soon I was free.
My breath became hort and
my face was flushed with defeat.
