No More

Beth Gibson

Everyday as before
I wake up
I always tell myself
The day will be better than before
But, it is always failure
My arms and legs still hurt
From last night
When I ³tripped² down the stairs
My mother was cranky
My father was intoxicated
I go to school
Still have my father’s words on my mind
³Better get good grades, or you are mine!²
I will never get straight A’s
Like my father expects
During 6th period I realized
I didn’t want to live anymore
So I ran to the bathroom
And slammed the door
I began to write the letter
That ended my life
I told what happened at home
Why I was always hurt
I while I wrote
Then the teacher came in
Looking for me
I didn’t say a word
So she left
When the bell rang, after seventh
I went to the roof
I walked to the edge
Leaving the note in my locker
I yelled at the top of my lungs
“I am not taking it anymore”
People from everywhere looked
Then, I jumped.
