She sits on her bed
thinking about life and death.
wondering which one is better.
At first she says life
because she does brighten ppls days
and because of the little friends she has
but then she says death
because her parents all they do is fight and yell
Her boyfriend beats her
and her teachers want her
she cuts here wrists at least 4 times a day
but her parents dont even seem to care
even though they have caught her in the act
They dont care that she ended up getting pregnant at 15
but lost the kid because her boyfriend threw her down a flight of stairs
thats why she picks death over life
later that night while in the shower
she thinks there is a razor right there
i can get it over with in a jiff
or there's my mothers pills on the counter
she gets out and looks at the pills.
opens them and takes a handful
two days later at here memorial service
on here tomb is read
"a wonderful daughter
and friend
who chose life over death
in just one night."
