Elizabeth
The scream that followed the giant crimson puddle on
The floor.
Was Kendall.
Her voice rang
With a great shrill.
ELIZABETH, WHAT THE HELL?!?!
COME BACK, PLEASE...
YOU'RE SO PALE
SO WHITE
ELIZABETH?!?!?!
ARE YOU
THERE?
What happened next I really don’t remember,
There were screams as they took me
Down the back halls
out the Back doors
I was pale,
White as the snow
Too much blood has been lost.
We don't know if she'll make it
(And the last one I remember) Elizabeth, keep your eyes open, please?
Obviously I made it,
Only wishing that I hadn't
Couldn’t they have just let
Me
Die?
Too much blood has been lost
Then why try to save me?
WE don't know if she'll make it
Just let me die, it's what I want
Elizabeth, keep your eyes open, please?
What's the point? Why should I? Do you really care if I live?
Kimberly
I live with OCD
The papers that sit
on the desk,
filled with signatures of mine
and the admissions lady.
Are crooked, and they
sit in piles of mess.
I Do My Best
To not fix them,
I last two minutes and
Thirty-seven seconds.
Kimberly, what are you doing? The attending spoke
“I have severe OCD I have to fix the papers”
Oh, well if you must, have at it.
She must not
Have looked,
because the papers
Are now in
seven different piles
According to size, color, and signed and
Unsigned.
Wow, you're good at that.
"Yeah, OCD does that to you. I'm horrible,
I'm not good at anything.
My OCD controls my thoughts
While my self-destructive depression
Destroys my mind."
It's the only reason I'm in
...here.
I don’t want to be here.
But I need to be
Two years ago,
they said
Ms. Kyles, your daughter
Kimberly is a danger
To herself, and others around her
These actions prove it.
She can't remain in society.
I'm so sorry
We have to take her to
A mental health facility.
She can't interact with society's norm anymore.
Andrew
Anymore,
I don’t know what I am.
Who is the boy in the mirror
It's not the scared 14 year old
That walked into
Kenneth Correction Facility
three years ago.
Scared alone and
facing
3 years there on good behavior.
What good did that do?
None.
I was gone in two weeks
To another juvie Dent.
To another center
Saint James Juvie. Dent. Corect. Fac.
Some kid wondered why I was there
I told him the straight truth
The kid couldn't be older than 15
Looked too old to be there though.
Maybe time here roughed him up.
I wonder if it'd do the same to me?
"I Killed My Best Friends Father."
Hushes of No way's and
Really?
Wow he's got guts
"Yeah, I tried saying it was self-defense,
but no one
Understood.
I've been chasing Juvie filled dreams
For almost a month now.
Got kicked out of
the Last One I Was In.
Wasn't a pretty Sight."
Suddenly I felt accepted.
Wanted in a place,
where everyone
felt
Like they'd
Never
Belong
Anywhere
Again.
