Her name is known
Her age is 13
There’s a whole bunch of cuts on her wrist that I see
The smell makes me groan
I nearly vomit from all of the blood on the floor
But there’s a smile on her face
Which only makes me gag more
And my eyes water as if they were sprayed with mace
But what happened to this girl
Whose name turns out to be Rayne?
The possibilities make my head whirl
Even though she didn’t die in pain
They found a suicide note
Clutched in a bloody fist
The stains of blood obscure what she wrote
So everything we missed
She died, that’s all we know
But we bet her story is untold woe
Her hair is tied in a black bow
And her face is marked with the punches from her foe
But we finally decipher the bloody letter
And we all wished we could have met her
To say it’s all going to be okay
Because here is what she had to say:
My name is Rayne,
I’m 13 years old
I don’t know why
But people always pick on me
My mother’s a druggie
My dad’s an alcoholic
And my brother beats me
So I’m assuming I’ve gone too far
And now I’m dead
Or else I wouldn’t have written this
But I knew
And I wanted it to happen
Because my name is Rayne,
I’m thirteen years old
I’ve suffered too much abuse,
And I have no home.
