This brick wall I tried so hard to build, is tumbling down. - Me (AliceAngel)<br /> <br /> If drama were vodka, everyone at my school would be drunk. - Chloe, one of my friends.


To the boys I see walking down the street.
To the girls I see, together in their little clique.
To the friends I have, that don’t see the pain behind my eyes.
To the family that would surely break down if I were to die.

These are the people that we see each day,
The people that still go their own way.
If only they would listen and watch,
Then they’d surely turn their awareness up a notch.

The day I die,
Oh, the day I lie.
There on my bed,
Voices around me filled with dread.

They didn’t pay enough attention,
And so they didn’t have enough information.
But now I am dead,
May that fill their head.
They can wallow in their sorrow,
But they won’t see me tomorrow.


The author's comments:
I was reading a story here, on TeenInk, and in the story, the main character kills some guy, and it made me want to write a story about someone dying. I could die, or just a character could die. But instead, the story turned out to be a poem.
