The Well Known Stranger

Nobody knows me As far as I know They may know of me But they don't know the girl that I know How they treat me and isolate me They make me feel bad about myself They make me feel all alone As if there's no one else As I sit, I glance constantly at the clock Tick, tock, tick, tock Then all of a sudden, the bell rang And on my feet I sprang Finally out of everybody's sight My pace begins to slow I look to the left, I look to the right Ready to get home to get this load off of my mind Out of nowhere comes these girls Who everyday crumbles my world They pick and push, call me names Never knowing that I don't want to play these games They call me these names that makes me cry As the question, 'why' constantly runs through my mind Why must they do me this way That makes me feel like this everyday They tease me all the way home But still their voices are in my head Laughing out loud Remembering what they said I run to the bathroom Eyes and face filled with tears I slam and lock the door Looking for a way to erase my fears I looked and looked trying to find the right thing Those voices still going through my head Still crying Knowing that in a matter of minutes, I will be dead I have found what I'm looking for I raise my hand My family is banging on the door Trying as hard as they can I refuse to come out Because they don't know what this is about I lift my wrist And give it a fast, sharp slit I hit the floor My family still at the door Trying to get me to open it But I can't move a bit I'm now lying there In a pool of blood While my family's crying '"Call 911!" They bust open the door Check me and take me off the floor I'm lifted and rolled away Praying that I will soon be in a better place Everyone sees me Lying on the stretcher helplessly 'Help her, help her' my mom cried But little did she know that I wanted to die In my hospital bed is where I lay Quiet and sad to say That I will never get rid of the pain Because the pain is here to stay.
