"I AM SORRY"

They found her body
The other day,
The two young sisters saw her,
after their school play.

Her body hanging
Her heart had stopped
Those two sisters
were in such a big shock.

She left a note
For them to read
About just how much
She was really in need.

And as they read,
the note as they should
about a high school girl
who was misunderstood.

A girl who was smart
so happy and alive.
But that clearly,
was just on the outside.

But the one phrase that bugged,
those two little girls.
Those three short words,
made their tummies all curl.

"I am sorry,"
the note said.
And just like that,
This girl is now dead.

But those two girls,
Just can't understand
Was it they who were supposed to
comfort and hold their sister's hand?

Was the sister sorry
For killing herself?
Or was she sorry
That she never got help?

But now with her gone
No one will ever know.
Why she left so quick
Faster than I can say "NO!"

Yet those sisters live on,
While their stomachs still turn
As they cry and they weep
Over their dead sister's urn.
