I'm Sorry I Should Of Said Something

I'm Sorry I Should Of Said Something

A Poem by Joey Martinez

Now here's a story about a girl I knew
A glorious work of art which God himself drew
A talented smart beautiful girl
Who in the palm of her hand beholded the world
But that came to a tragic end
All because no wanted to be her friend
Lets take it back to when I first laid eyes
On what I believed was more beautiful than the morning sky
She was the new kid in my class
Home to a vast mass of 35 students
Who mocked her as she said hello because her English wasnt fluent
I wanted to defend her, I really did
But back then I was known as a quiet afraid to speak kid
So I watched the tears fall from her blue sky eyes to the floor
I watched her run away and slam the door
I sat back and let it happen
The least I could do was dry her tears with a napkin
But I did nothing at all
I just sat there observing her fall
The next day came
And all was the same
The torment didn't stop
No matter what time showed the clock
They even went to the extreme of throwing rocks
And beating her with our lockers lock
But she would always come the next day
Even though hate and torture was coming her way
And there I was, watching it all
A witness to her fall
Despite the abuse
She put her mind to good use
And passed everything with straight As
Good grades was the only light in her day
Seeing her smile
Had me in a trance of happiness that lasted countless miles
But on one spring day
The kids in my class decided to partake in foul play
It was show and tell
Or better yet, a show in hell
She had bought in her pet fish
Named swish
She said it was her only friend
And even though it had no hands it always offered one to lend
Once she had finished presenting to the class
A chain of emotions in me had crashed
They took her fish while she turned a blind eye
And stomped on it until tears of laughter had cried
And once she turned around
She ran out the class and since then has never been found
Witnesses say they saw a girl with similar features by a well
They say she looked down below and purposely fell
And here I am wallowing in my own tears
Because I feared to speak my mind
If I would have befriended her all could of have been fine
But I sit here praying to God to rewind time
I'm sorry
