A Ballad For Hannah

A ballad for Hannah (In memory) I awoke this morning with a frightening chill, Hannah has been killed By a group of peers, There was never any violence Only immaturity from them all. Day by day was Hell She always felt like she was locked in a cell, The rumors grew closer Minutes got longer, Death was knocking at the door. No one noticed her sorrowful eyes Or even wondered if she wanted to die, All that mattered to them Is letting everyone know That she can not be trusted. She plotted a devious deed Who would notice this lead? Her fall would be quick and painless, No one would ever suspect it, Hannah has been killed.
