a whisper
   a tiny little sound
       fell from her lips
          and proceeded to drown
             down went her dreams
                up came her fears
                  out came the screams
                     in stayed the tears
                        "crazy" they mocked
                            "weird" they teased
                                 in a corner she rocked
                                     holding her knees
                                        one by one, redder than red
                                            bad ideas filled her little head
                                              and within a week they marked her
                                                             ­            **dead
