Cruel Words

People stood in shock
At the blood stained floor
From an innocent little girl
Who couldn't take the bullies anymore

Night after night
She cried herself to sleep
Her classmates cruel words
Always made her weep

She tried to ignore them,
And pretend she didn't hear
But it never worked
She heard them loud and clear

At lunch she sat alone
She had no one in whom to confide
During class students talked
About how they wished she would die

Teachers were just as bad,
They never took her word
Any time she said something
Her complaint went unheard

Kids always pushed her down,
Made her drop her books
Stole things from her locker
And shot her nasty looks

One beautiful spring day
She could no longer stand the tears
She was never going to belong
As long as she was still here

Dear whoever cares
I'm sorry for whatever I did wrong
I'm sorry I'm not good enough
I'm sorry I couldn't be strong

She took out a gun
And blew out her brains
Blood spilled everywhere...
Gently as the rain
