All I Can Say
The rumor spreads as fast as lighting.
The rumor of me being abusive to my brother.
So far, five other have come to me and asked if this was true.
I wanted to cry for I have never lay a hand on him.
But, I just looked at them with my deep brown eyes and said,
'All I can say is that the day I hurt him is the day when I die.'
The bullying spreads faster that an angry bull.
They bully me like we were little children.
I've already been called a loser, ugly, whore, and freak.
I try not to listen, but it grows harder and harder the more they do it.
But, I just looked at them with a silly look in my eyes and said,
'All I can say is that its your opinion of what I am.'
The pain grows larger inside of me.
The pain of a broken heart from losing my dear friend.
I've been holding back the tears so long.
Holding back just feel wrong.
So I burst into tears, while other in voices so cruel as me what's wrong. I just look at them, smile and say,
'All I can say is I'm tired of holding back the pain and the tears. So please, just leave me here.'
The day was long and trying.
My work was done.
Later that week people are crying over me.
I can not see but I can hear how they describe me.
With words that seemed like they never hurt me, I just lay motionless in that box and said in the sky,
'All I can say is, goodbye.'
