These scars
they seem so faint
and none of them are new
but each one
burns vividly
in my mind
each one a picture
of a perfect tear
and now
Im to help her
someone like me
smeone heading down
the path Ive been on
They say Im her last hope
The last person
who can make a difference
what can I say
what can I do
to save her this pain
Ive been through
am I even suppose to?
Monica... hmm
such a pretty name,
such a pretty face
but why does she wear a frown?
can I make her smile?
Or even ease her pain?
Shes so young
shes supposed to be innocent
and yet you can see by her face
shes anything but
all Im doing is writing letters
and walking around the zoo
well get ice cream
and play simon says
but is this all I can do?
Isnt there something more
some way to impact her
to help her
or is she destined
to break her heart and
feel so desperate
suicide is the only way out?
I dont know what I can do
but my teacher says
that if I cant help her
that isnt my fault
but isnt it?
if I ca't save her who will?
perhaps I need only plant the seed
but surely I must try
surely somehow
I can help her?
*I am going on a field trip with 1st and 2nd graders and Monica will be my "buddy" and she is headed down the path I am just getting off, and I want to point her the other way... but I may not be able to. The field trip is on May 5... Ill keep you informed... who knows whatll happen!*
