Mute

3-22-2006

Even though she didn't talk,
You still felt a need to mock,
Trip her to the ground,
All the kids laughing around.

She held her books close,
Day dreamed of being a ghost,
Held her head high,
Going to prove she won't cry.

They put a fake snake in her locker,
Threw much while she played soccer,
Depantsed her in the halls
To them she was nothing at all.

Prank calling her house,
Last Tuesday gave her a mouse,
Called her mean names,
Beat her if their team lost a game.

She's in a tangle of emotions,
She wants to drink poison from the ocean,
Hopes they feel the stings of remorse,
In a sudden heated force.

She stayed silent until tonight,
Mute sheâ??ll always be,
There wasn't fear in her sight,
In dawns light you will find,
The girl you tortured,
Hanging behind in the basketball court.
