I'm not suicidal and i'm not depressed.
I'm just living a fast life and giving God the rest.
Poetry's been my muse,right from the start.
So I wanna tell you a little something right from the heart.
I'm not here to waste your time,bother you or be annoying.
But have you noticed how many hearts that you people have been destroying?
Instagram,Qooh.me, Twitter and Facebook.
Are the platforms,y'all are using to leave people's kids scared and shook.
Yes,they may have tripped,annoyed you a little bit.
But for you & your squad to attack them on Facebook,
Just makes you look like a kid.

I'm tired of seeing these exposure pages,
these **** distribution rampages.
I'm tired of seeing these shady qooh's,
and this pestering of people for ages.
Have you not reached an age where drama is pathetic and you'd waste your time trying to be cruel?

I wouldn't say I've never bullied,and I wouldn't if I were you either.,
Cause we both have seen many incidents,and at most are serious Instagram readers.

To be in Rosebank on Saturday with squad is lit,
But to expose the girl who sent nudes is not.
Cause when that girl kills herself,and her parents attack you furiously.
At school,I wonder who'll be the hit.

I know I've been talking for a while now,
And you know where I'm trying to get,
But you should still be trying to wonder how,
Down the line,there'll be no more qooh me accounts left.

I'm trying to say please watch yourselves,
Be humble,kind and sweet.
Make your parents proud.
Don't throw your dreams onto the streets.

I once new a girl who hadn't been through a lot.
Her story wasn't sad or long.
She lived a life just like all of us.
Dated,partied,never knew right from wrong.

You'd never really see it in her eyes.
The sad and painful truth.
You'd have sworn you never heard her cry.
This was indeed a painful truth.

She was the type who didn't like being pitied,cried for,wept for or cared about.
Her attitude was black with a hint of gold and she was really just hard to get around.

I know you think that I'm just talking in rhyme,
And am running away from the point.
But I'm trying to get you fond with a story in time,
So you get why people our age are smoking joints.

Society has a way of being pressuring,
And thinking that you're useless if not pretty.
But my problem is the girls that weren't born skinny.
And are sworn at for being thick,really?

Society needs to understand that all she did was live.
Society has to find a way to accept that all she did was breath.
Being skinny,being hot,was never on the list.
But I mean what can I say,she was adored,loved,cared for and kissed.
She wasn't really pretty
But was sure as hell thick.
So the haters kept judging,
Telling her she's ugly and ****.
And I guess all of that,really did the trick.
She stared at her wall,drowning in thought.
Because in her feelings was where she was caught.

And here's what she called...
Mirror mirror on the wall
I just want to be pretty and tall.
Mirror mirror on the wall.
How do you do it? Be loved by them all.
They said, my darling,you know what we know?
Life isn't for everyone & you haven't grown.

She decided that she had had enough.
She really got tired of being tough.
She drank all the pills that filled her head.
Congratulations Society.
She is dead.

— The End —
