POETRY
Night after night I sat alone.
Crying and thinking about the unknown
How much height must they carry.
To make a person feel this kind of scary.
I swallowed my pride and took a chance.
Thinking it would end with a happy dance.
She laughed and ignored me and still refused to care.
That’s when I decided it was time to cut my hair.
I made it long, purple, and stitched it by hand.
Hanging would be easier than drowning in the sand.
None of them would listen nor did they stop.
I swear they're seriously sitting and waiting for me to drop.
Why did they get together and make me feel so low.
Knowing I busted my ass making their dough.
This is what happens when you push one too far.
Bullying rewards more than using a car.
She stabbed me deeper than words can fix.
The night she betrayed me and tossed me from her mix.
She refused to love me just a little bit.
Now I'm dying instead of just throwing a fit.
