A harrowing depiction of horrific tragedy, if it\'s an imagined tale or creative retelling, then I commend your empathy,
if it\'s an account of your actual experiences then I can only try and empathise with the pain and traumatisation you are dealing with,
either way it\'s a haunting read, thanks for sharing

Very powerful words Dylan, it is such a shame that somebody could not see what was happening to her, you did but did not have the experience to know how to deal with it. That experience is inherent in you now and will never be forgotten.

Welcome to MPS.

Makes terrible, but perfect sense. Situation clearly defined.
Saw and felt the whole damned thing.

You take very good care of yourself

Angela here - WElcome FRIEND to MPS - It is a proactive SITE & Operstes by reading (and if you wish commenting) on each others POEMS - please check our site which I share with my Husband Brian. Thnaks for your first Poem very poignant but also too familiar tale in Countries where GUNS are readily available. As a teen living in London - I was different & darker - because my Dad was Spanish. So I got my share of abuse. Fortunately I had a strong FAITH (Catholic) and a very supportive Family so I was able to ride the storm. Some kids did carry knives but I was able to defend myself against verbal & physical assaults unlike the girl in your poem. She was kind enough to lend you her pencil - BUT - unfortunately not strong enough to stand up to abuse - without support - and in the end (like so many in similar situations) she CRACKED ! Thanks for caring & sharing !

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love ANGELA & BRIAN ! !
