Once upon a dark and stormy night
Many people were involved in a
fight
A little girl watched from her
windowsill
As the people in the street below
began to fight without will
The area she lived in wasn’t very
nice
The neighborhood was dark and damp
and filled with mice
The crime rates were high and many
robberies were clear
And everyday she wished she didn’t
have to live here
Each night she looked out her
window and wished upon a star
And her only wish was that she
wished she would go far
Far away from where she was now
Because she knew if she stayed her
future would only spiral down
She needed to get out but the
opportunities were slim to none
But she knew the only solution
could be solved with education
She went to school, but she didn’t
fit in
Girls bullied her and for once the
good didn’t win
It got too much for her to handle,
she was in a state of depression and continuing to fall down
If people noticed her at all, all
they noticed was that she constantly had a frown
It was hard to be happy in a place
where nobody knew your name
Yet they only judged you from the
truth that they claimed
Years later an article in a
newspaper read a girl had killed herself, the cause was unknown
No note was left, because she had
no one she could call her own.
But the people who noticed knew it
was because of the struggles she had
Nobody ever realizes what they do
to someone can make them overwhelmingly sad.
Be careful what you say because you
never know what the affect could be.
You don’t want to be the reason
behind someone’s sadness that only they can see
