In the corner of this dark room
On a busted, mangled mattress
Lays an injured girl with many questions
She is curled up into a ball
Without a blanket to keep her warm
Tears falling from her eyes
She takes her hand and wipes them away
Her heart has been shattered not that long
The pain though, just a bit longer
Down the alley behind her, there is alot of noise
Gunshots and several people she heard screaming
Out of the corner of her eyes she sees
This man putting a needle into his arm
She glances up above and observes there are no stars tonight
And the moon is nowhere in sight
Fears of her past keep her tied up with guilt
For she is curious how she even got there
Wonders why she feels she has been left alone?
Her energy has all dissolved into this one night
At this moment she has forsaken her faith
Her eyes begin to confine gradually
Heaven emerges with a little glitter of light
Her breathing fades
Whisking her soul away to a safe and reliable place
Where she will never be forgotten

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
