It
starts with a mirror and a girl who loved herself,
She was just so arragoant and
proud.
One night she snuck out defying her mothers
'stupid' rules.
She only wanted to have fun and shoot some
pool.
Maybe it was bad luck,
but suddenly on her way home she was
stuck.
They surronded her from all sides
the bozze blurred her vision, weakened her
senses; she stood paralyzed.
Big men with strong arms pushed her onto the
ground,
She tried to scream but from her mouth there
came no sound.
And then they were on top of her one after
another, she could feel her blood pour
Blows to the head knocked her out
cold.
When she awoke, she saw the sun peeking through
the night
She struggled to walk home with every step her
legs protested and watered up her eyes.
She climed through the window not wanting to
know the punishment she would get for sneaking
Flooped down on her back, how bad she ached,
how good it was to be in a bed her knees hadnt stopped
shaking
Suddenly it hit her the sadness from all sides
there was no way to escape it,
She fell into a haunted sleep, if only she had
put up a fight she dreamed.
She awoke with a start
At
the aching in her heart,
"Save me" she whispered to her bible,
but what could God do,
It
was her that had been the fool.
She stumbled from bed and met her mothers sharp
words of "dont be late for school"
She wanted to hug her mom , let her tears drip
and her mouth scream, but that wasn't something she would
normally do.
The days seemed to drag,she couldn't go a
second with out being afraid.
She jumped and screamed at every little thing.
She didn't know what to say to her friends.
Somehow she made it through the week she felt
like the living dead
She stumbled into the house her mother sat
hands folded in her lap, "we have to talk" she
said
Her mother explained about her
disease,
its funny how Cancer seems so unreal untill it
happens to someone you see everyday.
The last months are a blur,
Even to her.
She stayed by her mothers side till the very
end,
Not one person stayed as much as her she
realized she had been her best friend.
She tried to tell her mom about that day the
one she had tried so hard to push away.
Her lips were open her mouth itched to form the
words, she couldnt say.
She conffesed everything, she didn't let
her mother answer instead she just whispered " i love
you" one last time.
Her mother died that same night.
She felt broken convinced it was her
fault,
Saying that to her mother had shattered her
weak and febble heart.
She stood in her empty room, only 4 months
before she had been applying makeup, anxious to get
wasted.
Now she no longer loves herself.
She's less than arrogant, not at all
proud.
She finally cries, she's less than broken
she's shattered
And decids its right to meet her untimely
demise.
It
ends with the mirror the shattered pieces tell a story in blood
red,
as
she lays, in the same place she had awoken 4 months ago, the job
is finished and finally she's dead.
