Halloween will never be the same

by Ashlin   Nov 3, 2005


Today was a bad day
Nothing like before
A day that never seemed to go away
A day filled with sorrow and more

Walking down the school's hall
Where the rumor had just been spread
When someone came up to me and told me it all
And as more was to lye ahead

Tears in my eyes
Like so many around me
Everyone crying there goodbyes
As i went down to one knee

Halloween will never be the same without you
I shall dread this day every year
We where the best of friends as you knew
And I had shed every tear

You had wrote your note
And went to your bed
Slide the gun over your throat
And raised it to your head

You left me in anger, sorrow, and pain
I needed to tell you something before you went away
but now here i sit in the rain

"I love you ... don't go away"

*Oliver Monk.. 13 years old.. died that morning on Monday of Halloween.. suicide... was being bullied and tormented... my friend*

note to others: please watch what you do and say to others

    So sad and so true. Childern are tormented daily by other students. They have no idea the pain they cause. Great write Ashlin, sorry you had to experience the pain of a friend in this way. Keep being an advocate you have a clear and distinct voice that needs to be heard...
