A Sad Goodbye

Sad Poem

(I didn't make this poem and I don't know who made it so I can't give credit and I feel so bad about that. This is kinda the reason why I wrote this story)

Mommy Johnny brought a gun to school today,

He told his friends that it was cool.

And when he pulled the trigger back,

Mommy I was good girl

I did what I was told

I went to school I got straight A's

I even won the gold!

But mommy, when I went to school that day

I never said good-bye

I am so sorry mommy I had to go

But mommy please don't cry

When Johnny shot the gun

He hit me and another

All because Johnny got it from his older brother

Mommy, please tell daddy

That I love him very much

And please tell Chris, my boyfriend,

That it wasn't just a crush

And tell my little sister

That she is the only one now

And tell my dear sweet grandma

That I will be waiting for her now

And tell my wonderful friends

That they are the best

Mommy I am not the first

I am not better than the rest

Mommy tell my teachers

I won't show up for class

And never forget this

And please don't let it pass

Mommy why'd it have to be me?

Nobody deserves this

Mommy warn the others

Mommy I left without a kiss

And mommy tell the doctors

Trying not to cry

Mommy I am slowly dying

With a bullet in my chest

But mommy, please remember

I am in heaven with the rest

Mommy I ran as fast as I could

When I heard that crack

Mommy listen if you would

I'm not coming back

I wanted to go to college

I wanted to try things that were new

I guess I'm not going with daddy

On that trip to the new zoo

I wanted to get married

I wanted to have kids

I wanted to be an actress

Mommy, I wanted to live

But mommy, I must go now

The time is getting late

Mommy tell my boyfriend

I'm sorry but I have to cancel our date

I love you mommy, I always have

I know you know it's true

And mommy all I wanted to say is:

"Mommy I Love You"
