Just a Girl
Stuck between hate and love,
The world is closing in around me.
Squeezing the life from my very lungs,
It's getting harder and harder to breathe.
All feelings but hate have left me.
Hate for my creators,
For creating a girl.
Just a girl,
Here for the world to spit on.
And I'm frightened.
Frightened for the ones I love,
Will they become what I have?
No,
They are going to heaven.
For the real moments of happiness they have given me.
Now I wish so much so see them once more,
But I will never see them again.
I gasp,
I cry out in pain as the world takes my final breath.
My final ounce of life.
I die...
Alone and spat on.
I die as; Just a girl.
