My One And Only Friend a.k.a My Savior

 


“What are you doing here freak” they says from behind me.


“No one wants you here” he says.


“No one cares about you” she says.


“You’re better off dead” is what they all scream.


Or is that what I hear.


I don’t know or do I care


Because in the end that is what they really mean.


 They really want me to die


 And maybe they are right.


 May be I should just die.


 No one would care.


 Just like they said ‘no one would care’ and it’s true.


 No one would care if I did die


No one ever cares.


 


Why do they keep doing this?


Why do they hate me so much?


Why do they want me to die?


What did I ever do to them to make them hate me so much?


I never did anything to them


I have never hurt them


I have never caused them pain


Why do they hate me so much?


 


They see me cry and they laugh


They laugh at the girl crying in the hallway


Because someone said something that hurt her really bad


They see me with my throat bruised


And they make a joke about it


But little did they know


That was the result of me trying to end my life


That was a result of me trying to end my pain


And I would have to if it wasn’t for her


 


 


 


The girl who ran in


And saw me with a rope around my neck


She ran to me and begged me to get down


And she looked at me like she really cared


Like she really cared if I lived or died


I stared at her with tears running down my cheeks


Tears which showed how truly broken I was


Tears which showed how much I was suffering on the inside


She continued to beg for me to come down


She continued to fight for my life


Even though I believe the world would be a better place without me


She still fought for me


Something no one has ever done before


Shaking my head I looked at the ground


Trying not to believe that someone really cares for me


And really does care if I lived


 


I hear her walk towards me


But I still don’t move


I feel her grab my arm


But I still don’t look at her


I see her gently undo the rope around my neck


And watch as it drops to the floor


She grabs me and pulls me to her hugging me


Telling me it’s okay


As I cry into her shoulder


As I cry out all my pain


 


“Why would you try and end your life” she asked


“Why wouldn’t I” was my only answer


I couldn’t really point out one thing that would make me do this


Because there was not just one answer


I wonder why she didn’t let me end my life


Why she didn’t let me hang myself


And why she didn’t let me die


She was the only one I know that wouldn’t let me do this


But I don’t know why


I don’t understand why she didn’t let me kill myself


 But at the same time I’m glad she didn’t


Because in truth I didn’t want to


In truth I just wanted it all to stop


For all the pain to stop


 


I wanted the bullying to stop


I wanted the pain to stop


I wanted the hateful words they shout


To stop


And I wanted to be loved


I wanted someone to care


And she knew that


She saw what I was


The broken girl I was


And she fixed me


She fixed me and made me new


She freed me from the prison I was


The prison where I got called names


The prison where I got beat and tortured


Where I was forced to suffer in until someone thought I was worth saving


 


She saved me


She thought I was worth saving


She said she became my friend that day


But really she became my savior


Because she saved me from the darkness of my life


And every day I ask her why she didn’t let me die


Why she didn’t let me end my life


And she answers “why wouldn’t I”
