6The smell of peppermint was in the air
As she walked back home
Why am I doing this?
She thought a lot of things
Would anybody care if I went away?
Have I made an impact in somebody's life that would make them want me to
stay?
She choked back tears because she knew this wasn't true
Nobody loved her
Everybody hates me she said to herself
I have no choice but to move on
Passing by a group of kids
Playing in the sandbox
Smiling with Popsicle stained faces
She remembered the day when she was like that
The memories slowly started to fade away
All that was left was the hatred she faced each and every day
The terrible days she went through
Dying inside
People choose to hate me because I am different, she said
Drifting from the world
She started to listen to the voices of everybody else
She looked into the mirror and hated what she saw
She saw that she was ugly
That she was poor
That nobody loved her
I am nothing she repeated over and over
Reaching her house
She picked up a bottle
Of something that is supposed to make you feel good when you are sick
I am sick, she said
Sick of living as a shadow
In a world where I am nothing
She never thought that she would be the one to make herself disappear
As she sat on the floor she decided she wanted to say goodbye
She picked up a paper, started to write a note but it was too late
She had already started to die
No, this is too soon! Why can't I stop?
She had her one chance of life and now it was gone
Her parents came home and parked the car
Her friends were in the basement
Holding a birthday cake with her name on it
Waiting to tell her that they loved her
Too bad she didn't stick around to find out
