She could've been a doctor
and saved many lives.
But what was stopping her?
Two simple words; high school.
She was different.
Her parents didn't have much money.
She didn't have expensive clothes or the cool electronics
everyone else had.
She had straight A's and took difficult classes.
She made sure to do all of her work while everyone else went
out partying.
Why?
Because she figured when she gets out of school, she could
help her parents out.
She worked at a fast food restaurant to pay off part of the
rent.
Her peers would come in, order a soda, and dump it on
her.
After work it would be around 10PM, she would have to run home and
wash her uniform by hand.
She'd then stay up past midnight to do her homework.
The students were mean to her.
They booked her every chance they got and she sat in the
bathroom to eat her lunch.
They called her names, kicked, hit, punched her many
times.
Every morning, before she walked to school, she'd look in
the mirror and tell herself that she's
gonna
be working at a better job then they are, and she was
gonna
make more money then them
But that never happened.
She snapped one day.
Couldn't handle it anymore.
Someone found out about her living conditions and they rubbed
it in her face.
She ran to her locker, emptied everything and ran home.
She went straight to that mirror and looked at it one last
time before she smashed it.
Her hand was bleeding but that didn't stop her
"What else is there left for me in the world?"
The next morning, she was all over the paper.
Some of the students were sad, but no one felt guilty.
They didn't think they were to blame since everyone else
had a part in it too.
She had great potential.
She would have gotten a scholarship and became a
valedictorian.
But she gave in.
Now, she doesn't exist.

Growing Up;
I wish I could stay young forever.
I remember walking around in my mom's heels when I was
seven, thinking i was soo amazing :D Not having a care in the world,
everything that you did was considered "cute". I even
missed the cheek pinching, even though those hurt a lot.
Skinning your knee, stubbing your toe, paper cuts were painful
and your mom would come and kiss it better. Now, you have to
suck it up and deal with it. Piggyback rides, playgrounds,
monkey bars, actually liking school, wanting to learn
everything there was to learn. The only drugs that you knew of
were medicine, love was icky, boys had cooties, bedtime
stories, teddy, blankey, and night lights were your dream
catchers. The only addiction was candy. Learning how to tie
your shoe made you popular. Sitting in the shopping carts while
your mom's buying groceries. Knocking almost everything off
the shelves, begging your mom for candy. Not caring what you
wore because your mom picked everything out for you to wear.
Trying your hardest to color inside of the lines in coloring
books. Memorizing the lyrics to your favorite PBS Kids shows.
Sitting on chairs with a phone book under you so you could see
over the table. I miss everything. I realized how everything
isn't going to stay the same. Taylor Swift (Never Grow Up)
helped bring back the memories of what being little felt like.
Cherish everything you have now.
"I just realized everything I had is someday
gonna
be gone"
"She was afraid to come out
of the locker,
She was as
nervous as she could be,
She was afraid to come out of the locker,
She was afraid that somebody could see...
It was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini
That she wore for the first time
today,
An itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini."
