Lorna

The life and times of a young girl, Lorna,
Born in the Midwest, raised in California,
Moved west with her family at age eight,
From simple and plain, to the beautiful state.

Her old town where life was laid back and easy,
To a city of vanity that made her feel queasy,
Even girls at her tender young age,
Watched their weight, dressed for the stage.

Lorna had a cute face and a battle with weight,
The source of her ridicule and self hate,
Teased as a kid she became an introvert,
it was her teen years that really hurt.

From fatso, to Porky, and every large animal,
The harassment and name calling was criminal,
So much brutality for a girl to endure,
A devastating pain that has no cure.

At 16 never a party attended or a date,
She met someone special believing it fate,
Each suffering from the same plight,
Each ready to give in, no longer willing to fight.

They decided together to face what they fear,
And wait until after their senior year,
To execute their plan on graduation day,
Wondering, with excitement, what they will say.

Inseparable, doing everything together,
Joined as one they were able to weather,
The abuse they had to take as seniors,
They couldn't been more cruel or meaner.

Finaaly this day has come to fruition,
On stage they both get into position,
After they each received their diplomas,
Bang, bang, one dead, one in a coma.,

This day plotted and carefully schemed,
This was their only actual dream,
To shoot each other to relieve this curse,
And leave this evil and hateful earth.
