Never Happened

September 10, 2015

My friend committed suicide

We had a class meeting and they told us

Then they talked about fundraising for a class trip

 

I was crying

There was a lot of crying

The teachers were teaching

 

I go to class

We did a worksheet

She acted like it never happened

 

I went lo lunch

People were laughing and joking

They were untouched by his death

 

There was one period

She actually acknowledged him

She said she understood if we just wanted to put our heads down and ignore her

 

For the others it was easy

Just to go on, act like it didn't happen

But she talked about it

 

For her it happend 

So she acknowledged him

For that I am eternally grateful
