Sad Lonely Girl

I HEARD ANOTHER HORRENDOUS SCHOOL BULLYING STORY TODAY…SUCH UNBELIEVABLE DEVASTATION, DESTRUCTION, PAIN AND UNBEARABLE SORROW CAUSED….ITS JUST NOT RIGHT NOR FAIR AND NEEDS TO BE STOPPED SOMEHOW IN OUR SCHOOLS! THE POEM BELOW IS FICTION! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ She sits by the window with coffee in hand Watching the raindrops tapping on the glass Her mind revisits that high school year again With the same questions she always asks Those teenage years of chaos and confusion Where thoughts and hormones run riot Just finding her way and wanting to fit in Kept both her conscience and voice quiet She remembers so vividly that high school year It tortures her with sorrow, regret and shame If she could only she could go back and do it differently Perhaps the outcome would have not been the same She participated in the bullying of the sad lonely girl Though her heart knew it was completely wrong So she wouldn’t be their next victim Safety from the bullies kept her strong She remembers that day in the school canteen When the sad lonely girl was again cowardly chosen She saw the silent tears rolled down her cheek In that moment her mind and heart were frozen She saw the pure pain in the sad lonely girls eyes Sitting sheepishly on her own She desperately wanted to reach out to her Comfort her and tell her “Its ok you’re not alone” Yet so afraid of becoming a victim She felt cowardly and weak Intimidated by the bullies unrelenting cruelness She laughed, walked passed and to the sad lonely girl she did not speak That day now is forever seared in her mind One of complete horror and doom An unexpected school assembly was called Informing students the sad lonely girl was found hanging in her room!
