Casey Poem by Katerina N Clark

So I got a call the other day
My mum said someone needs ya help and they need it right away
When I heard a girl named Casey was harming herself
Flash backs started I couldn't help myself
I asked her what the story was behind it all
She said Casey had been bullied behind the school hall
So I paused and stopped for minute
The words I was hearing it was too hard to believe it

What can I do I asked my mum
Maybe be an ear or a caring arm
Listen to her stories and hear of her pain
Coz I know exactly how that felt every single day

So here goes Casey
Telling me her plans
If I really tried to save her
Is it possible I can?
She's begging and crying asking for God
He aint near me coz all I see is fog

And if I cry would you catch my tears in your hands or would you wipe them away and not give a damn?
Would you stand by my side or would you run away and hide
Would you be my support that I've been searching for?
Or would you turn away and lock the door?

Now Casey wasn't just asking for help
She needed hope and something to laugh about
Coz I ain't never seen Casey smile before
I just seen all the blood stains on her bedroom room floor
From a night where she cut her wrists
And left a note which said I'm so over this

This pain in my heart
Its tarrying me apart
The kids at school punch me and laugh
They make fun of my face
And steal my food
Not one of them has a heart that's any good
So why should I be here talking to you today
When all you will do is the just same and look the other way

But Casey
Can't you see
I'm different
I'm a believer
I have hopes and dreams
Of a world with peace
love
and freedom
but It won't come easy

So you say she carries on
Don't worry about me
I won't be here for very long

Now Casey I know what you mean by that
Far! I use to say that everyday I use to say all that
Now don't go hurting ya self
It's not worth it in the end
There comes a time when a feeling will sink in
A word
One word
Will pop into your mind
And you think about everyone you leave behind
It's a word so strong ya'll never forget
It's extremely powerful and it's called regret.

And I ain't gona say it gets all better so soon
Coz it doesn't
I don't wana be a lair to you
But please let me save your life
Give me a chance to look inside
To see your mind
Feel your pain
To be a friend once again
Someone who won't judge you
Or someone who won't laugh
I wana be that someone who will take care of you
And pat ya on the back

Coz you got through it
I see it in your eyes
You tell me now you can see the light
Your dark days are over
There is hope in your heart
Your soul is one and no longer falling apart

Now Casey never said the words 'would you' to me every again
Coz I had proven I was a friend she had gained
I was a person she trusted
Someone she could talk too
But that's not all
There is God
And he truly loves you.
