She is lost and afraid
Destined to remain in this world
Not as a person but as matter that takes up space
She thinks back to not but 5 minutes ago
When she heard the news
The news that would be the death of her
*Laying in her room watching tv
She fainly hears the phone ring
Walking into the living room and picking up the phone
She already knows what this man is going to say
"Ms. Smith? This is Officer Johnson. I'm sorry to inform you that your father has
been killed on the highway. He was hit by a semi and his car is demolished."
She cannot speak, she cannot move
As she thanks the officer and hangs up the phone
Her whole world comes crashing down
She feels as if she is outside of herself
Walking into her room and picking up the needle who has been her savior
She fills is with the poison she needs to reunite her with her father
Pushing the drug deep into her veins and laying back
She knows that this is what she wants*
Broken and dying
She takes one last look inside her dark and worthless soul
She regrets wishing death upon him
All the times he hit her and made her feel helpless
She knew it was her fault all along
She shouldn't of asked him for so much at Christmas
She shouldn't of begged him to go to the movies with that boy
But what can you expect?
She's only 13, she has to get out sometime
Taking one last look around
She closes her eyes, as she takes her final breath
And is finally in peace

This poem was so well written with quite a bit of emotion! I loved the regret and the solemn sadness to it!
thank you so very much for your entry!
My favorite part of this piece had to have been
"Walking into her room and picking up the needle who has been her savior
She fills is with the poison she needs to reunite her with her father
Pushing the drug deep into her veins and laying back
She knows that this is what she wants*"
I loved it!!!

This was very intense. The words were powerful and had so much meaning behind them. This was like a story of a life, but written in poetry. I liked that alot about it. These words hit home of thoughts that have never been put into actions. Your words are so hard to explain for me to say how wonderfully you write them. I'd make this comment alot longer if I could know what to say. It just left me speachless.
Well done and thank you for entering my contest. -
