Hope for a new life
6/17/02
An actual poem I was commissioned to write for a friend’s theater class where she had to create and perform a play. The play was about a girl who after being the target of harrassment by fellow students takes her own life.
Oh cruelest fate which put me here,
A land of pain and mocking jeers.
A place which destroys all hopes and dreams,
Takes away all pleasant things.
Three Divas tear away my soul,
Kill any chance to take control
And now I have no other choice.
This is the only way the world will hear my voice.
Oh gentlest death: come comfort me,
Bring an end to such cruelty!
For you are the only one who knows
How hurtful are their jeering echoes.
With this blade I bid this world good bye,
And maybe find a better world in the sun bright sky.
