I'm Sorry I Should Of Said SomethingA 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 © 2015 Joey Martinez |
