she makes her way to her room
stepping over the fallen toys and magazines that clutter the hall
another day of school
y do the kids at school treat her the way they do
she tries her best not to act the fool
but in the end she is always the center of the joke
i don't treat them badly
she thinks as she slumps onto her bed
what have i done to deserve this
she says sadly as she collapse
her face becoming red
as she remembers the embarrassment she was put through this time
she gets up and moves to the bathroom
i could just end this now
the teasing and taunting that goes on at school
just a handful of pills is all it would take
...but is that the right thing to do?
she begins to cry
contemplating why
should she do this
...or should she not
she takes the bottle and grasps it in one icy hand
her other shakingly un screws the lid
she pours a hand full of the white and yellow pills into her palm
she thinks...this is it...i have to decide now...
she gives in...the easy way out...
she takes the pills...every last one
the phone rings and she answers
...it’s her friend...
i saw what they did to you today
but just remember that no matter what they do you’ll always have your
friends
they’re just words he says reassuringly
high school is not even the beginning of your life
are you listening!!!
just 2 more weeks and your done!
did you hear me!?
no matter what they say it means nothing compared to the path ahead of you
...hey!!!
are you ok?
are you sure? he asks, becoming concerned
well ok if you say so...good bye...see you tomorrow...
maybe if he’d called a moment sooner...he could have saved her life
for she had already taken up her knife
and cut not only herself but all her friends and foes...
destroying her future...
and her family and friends life...
if only someone had sat her down...
and reassured her that life would work out
if only they had told her that everything would be tight
if only if only...
maybe it could have been all right
maybe just maybe she would have put up a better fight
