A Bottomless Bucket
Broghan Sep 2020
A seemingly irreversible leak that cannot be plugged,
all of these experts that end up pulling the plug.
It gets darker and darker,
when even the deepest diver can not seem to conquer.
We top it up endlessly with no end in sight, all in the hope that one plug will bite.
People come from all over to figure it out, but not one of them knows what they are talking about.
Then one man spoke and it all made sense,
but it was all too late for that girl named Miss Spence.

When she was young she was bullied and abused,
So when a loving person came along,
She shut down and refused.
She got into drugs to help numb the pain,
Little did she know she would never be the same.
As the drug use got harder,
Her future became darker,
Only to end up,
6 feet under.
This type of thing happens far too often,
So next time you come in contact with someone,
Take a step back and show some compassion.
At the end of the day we have ourselves to blame,
Letting social media guide the way,
We judge too fast and type away,
Only to realise that person is the same but with a different name

— The End —
