Rosalie Avila

Nikhil Vadher

Rest in paradise sweet soul,

The world didn't deserve you,

One day those bullies will feel their toll,

They will suffer a fate far worse than death, 

Feel crowded in every room so heartbroken it took my breath,

My heart ripped out my chest as if I lost my own,

You were a princess that deserved a crown,

Not a childhood that would make you frown,

I wish I could have been there for when you felt so alone,

Praying that you're in a better place where you'll feel safe,

The world could have been your oyster and a blessing to grace,

It's hard to embrace this world when there's a missing place, 

A place where you could have shined a bright light,

Now a beautiful angel by God's side your spirit taken flight,

Going to war with my oppressors it's going to take all my might, 

Face my demons even though I been hit with a deadly strike,

I Dedicate this to you wishing I could heal a broken heart,

If only I could turn the hands of time back to the start,

This is goodbye and I know it's the hardest part,

But just knowing that you're in a better place,

Eases the pain and instead puts a smile on my face,

God Bless You and Your Family <3

 

This is dedicated to Rosalie Avila and all other victims of bullying who have taken their own lives in result of the mistreatment and harmful acts of bullying. Rest in Peace, you are gone but never forgotten and your presence will remain with us forever.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Hi all, Hope you are all well. It has been a while since I have been on this site and I thought I'd return to share some more poems with you guys; Hope you enjoy this read and I appreciate all comments and opinions, share this poem and spread this around to people who need some love and support going through hard times. I wrote this poem a long time ago and have wanted to share publicly but have been going through my own struggles in recent times and just felt it wasn't the right time. This was dedicated to a young child who was a victim of bullying which caused her to take her own life. Her name was Rosalie Avila, a young American girl that had committed suicide. She was only 13 years of age. But I want also extend this dedication to all victims of bullying and harassment especially these young children suffering at such an early age and feel like they have no other way but to kill themselves. When I read about Rosalie's story it hurt my heart and my soul and still to this day it affects me and it made me realize how so many young lives are being affected on a day-to-day basis at school due to bullying. Its sad seeing her grieving family and the hurtful messages, memes and taunting by the same bullies that were sent to her parents even after her suicide. mocking her death and turning such a tragedy into a joke. Rest in peace to all who have lost their lives and you will live on forever in our hearts, your souls will be immortalized while those bullies will never see the light of day when they are gone. Much love and blessings to you all.
