The IncidentA Poem by R.L. UnderwoodSeven thirty A.M. The alarm goes off, and I lay in bed, staring at the sky I wish was there. Eight A.M. I drag myself out of bed, and I look in the mirror, I don't like what I see. Eight twenty A.M. I am already late, so it's a good reason to skip breakfast, Not that anyone would notice. Eight forty five A.M. I arrive in to my daily chore, School, a safe place to learn, Like hell it is. Ten fifteen A.M. I feel hungry, so I eat a granola bar, and tell myself that I am not hungry. Eleven Thirty three A.M. I go to the bathroom, Girls talk about someone ugly, and I hope it's not me. Noon, I get coffee and drink nothing else, and my so called friends ask, 'how do you stay so skinny?' One Fourty seven P.M. I leave school early because I can't take it anymore, and they all drive me crazy, Two fifty eight P.M. I am home doing the school work I hate, and I get nothing done, because I'm going to die anyway. Three eleven P.M Mom yells at me, not that I give one. Four thirty four P.M. My sister calls me a b***h because I'm so angry, but I can't really blame her, though she taught me to be this way. Five fifty one P.M. They ask me what I want for dinner, and I say, 'not hungry'. Six Thirty P.M. They call me out, Because it is time to eat, I sit picking the food on my plate. Seven ten P.M. He comes to get me, and he says I look nice, and I try to believe him. Eight Twenty P.M. We are at a party and we play truth or dare, and I say dare, because I woudn't dare tell the truth. Eight twenty seven P.M. They dare me to kiss him, so that is what we do, Not that I care to either way.
He takes me to his house, and he says he likes me, but he doesn't know me. Eleven thirty P.M. I am home, and I am listening to songs get rid of the thoughts, and I open the medicine cabinet. Twelve eleven A.M. I swallow them all, and my mom comes in, and I think I am gone.
I wake up and the ceiling goes by fast, and the doctor laughs, 'Did you really think that'd work?', One twenty A.M. I am crying, because I am still alive, and I wanted to die. Three Thirty A.M. They tell me I am selfish, and that I'm stupid, my life is not that bad.
I am alone, wishing i was dead, Staring at what I wish was the sky. © 2014 R.L. Underwood |
