Kate and Julia

Oh, Kate comes from a broken home Where life’s just not that good. She wants so much to make it work If she only thought she could. And several times, it’s crossed her mind The thought of suicide. It hurts so much. It just won’t end. The pain she feels inside. And Julia has a way with words. She knows just what to say. Yes, she can make you feel real bad Or she can make your day. She walks around her high school halls Always putting people down. She laughs at them and scoffs and mocks. She loves to see them frown. One day at school the two girls met And Julia jumped right in. She made fun of Kate’s hair and clothes And then she laughed and grinned. She called her names and would not stop As Kate began to cry. The bullying became too much. Kate ran away to hide. The next day when the school bell rang, The principal had said That Kate won’t be at school today Because, he said, she’s dead. He said that she had killed herself Because the day before, Yes, she was hurting deep down and Couldn’t take it anymore. She left a note that would explain The reason that she’s dead. A bully pushed her way too hard With hurtful words she said. And then when she realized What she did with her words, Yes, Julia then apologized To ev’ryone she hurt. She asked them for forgiveness and Said she never will again Say mean, cruel words to any one From now until the end. The next time that you tease someone, Just please, stop first and think The person that you’re teasing, well Just might be on the brink Of saying that they’ve had enough. Their life they want to end When the one thing that they really want Is just to have a friend
