Goodbye

She searches hard

Looking for everything

She looks to take it all

Because she is leaving

No more pain

No more hurt

She is already packed

Her shorts and shirts

She has had enough

Of their foolish games

She will be somewhere else

She might change her name

Good bye to everything

This is the last night

Because at 11,

She will jump on the next flight

It is the last way

She could get by

Because she is sick of thinking

Of ways to die

She writes a quick note

To her family and friends

“This is the way

it has to end”

Her stomach hurts

And her eyes burn

Maybe now this

Will make them learn

She walks out the door

And doesn’t look back

But now a family

Is all she’ll lack
