2 different tragedies

by Filledwithjoy   Nov 26, 2007


Two different worlds
two diffreent stories
each as tragic as each other
one scavenges around the streets for crumbs of food
one goes to the fridge and abuses the mum for not buying the desired flavour
One must walk two hours to taste a drop of water, yet it is still diseased and infested ith bugs
One refuses to drink out of a school bubbler becuase a "feral" drank out of it
One cannot find a home for the night, struggling to find shelter, eventually settling for under a bridge
One is sobbing on the ground their family cannot afford a pool
One is ignoring a friend because she stained her top
One is persevering and patching up her clothes that she had stolen when she was ten, now she is fifteen
One is whinging about her crush not replying to her messages
One is weeping that the ones she loved were slaughtered because of their beliefs
One is fighting with her sister shouting out "I WISH YOU WERE NEVER BORN!"
The other is looking after her baby sister, praying that she doesn't die from a cold
One is debating about whether tonight is her special night
The other has no choice but to sell her body medicine for her sister
One stuffs round at school and wants to drop out
The other only dreams of such things so she could grow up and be a doctor
One tragic life
On tragic drama queen
Both stories as tragic as each other
