The 13 Year Old Girl Who Thought She Was In Love Poem by atiya smith

There once was a girl
13 years of age


she could have sworn she was in love with a man
who was too old for her age

at home no one showed her love
it seems as though they didn’t even care

so she turned to the man on the street
and he told her what she wanted to hear

he bought her clothes and kept her looking tight
she started dis obeying her parents coming home any time of the night

the more time she spent with him
the more she thought she was in love
she felt like an angel sent straight from above


she stepped on her porch put the key in the door
when she opened the door and fell straight to the floor
she was so shocked and she felt the way her heart tore

she felt a pain that she never felt inside
she never thought today would be the day her whole family died

she picked up the phone to call her man
but no one answered

she walked out the house and went to the block
she asked where her man was
and they replied he got shot! ! ! !

She didn’t know what to do
She blamed it all on herself
She felt so terrible she needed some help

As she sat there and cried she began to think
She thought about all the good time her and her family had
She also thought about her boyfriend

She hurted inside
She could not take it anymore
She rushed straight inside
and straight to the kitchen draw
inside the draw layed a black shiny gun
she put it to her head and

POW
SHE WAS DONE! ! ! !
