Two Poems from our Tributes, Memorials Poetry Collection

 
 
SHE
   
Author: Sabrina Matthews
   
Poem:
SHE
   
  They tell her that she's ugly, fat and not smart,
But she knows she is worhty from the depths of her heart.
A glimpse into the mirror and for her it begins,
"Maybe they'll like me, if only I'm thin."
She sprints to the bathroom gently locking the door,
Telling herself, "This is the right thing, I'm sure!"
She turns on the water so you can't hear the sounds.
With two fingers in her mouth she kneels to the ground.
"I won't eat tomorrow, or the day after that!"
"Never again, until they see I'm not fat!"
Three months go by, but the problems persist.
And now there are more problems to add to her list.
"They still do not like me!" "And neither do I!"
"I cannot be helped!" "Why can't I just die?!"
These words for days linger in her head.
She won't go to school nor get out of bed.
Looking so pale she nibbles her thumb.
"Why am I like this?!" "I am so dumb!"
Becoming more sickly as time passes by,
She gets an idea, something else she could try.
Again to the bathroom, more slowly this time,
She opens the pantry to see what's to find.
Pulling out prescription pills, trembling yet firm,
"I don't really want to, but maybe now they will learn."
"When I'm gone they will miss me, oh yes they will!"
"And all I have to do is swallow these pills."
She downs the whole bottle within just one gulp.
It was a cry from inside screaming out for help.
On this paticular day it was her birthday you see,
Tons of her friends would be at the surprise party, from me.
We all really loved her, why couldn't she tell?.
Every day to her was like living in hell.
She heard what she wanted, and not what we said.
And because she never told anyone, now she is dead.
She's right, we do miss her, and always will.
But we have always loved her, and that lives on still.

LEAVING
   
Author: Amanda Bauman
   
Poem: LEAVING
   

You know, I didn’t want to leave
But I knew that I had to
Then I couldn’t believe
That it would mean something else to you
Everyone thought something was wrong
With me especially when I left
It was like a sad, depressing song
And I had committed a theft
Well the situation ended
Much sooner than I wished-for
My life can not be mended
As it was before.
My family doesn’t understand
Why I left in the first place
They don’t know what I planned
Now they just look at my pale face
They wonder why
What did they do?
Why I’m drifting in the sky
And if I really meant to.
