I sat in first period that day
bathing in invisible pain
slowly rotting away
as the teacher chose a topic to explain

I sat alone that day
writing in black ink, hands shaking
but my eyes wouldn't betray
the agony of my heart breaking

I sat in advisory that day
writing a note, a letter
listing my reasons to stay
wishing they were better

I sat at lunch that day
spent the entire time writing
this was it, the only way
that night I went home to fighting

I sat on the bus that day
dreading the moment I'm on my own
I got off, stepping out of the way
and alone I walked home

I sat in my room that day
listening to music, hiding
trying desperately to keep my thoughts at bay
while unconsciously deciding

I sat in the bathroom that day
on it's unforgiving floor, door locked
while the note sat on display
but this time, no one knocked

I died a little that day
while I poured them out, hands still
as fear drifted out of the way
while I looked down at the innocent Advil

I survived somehow that day
my phone buzzed, alive
pausing me halfway
resurfacing my dive

I sat in bed that night
subdued but empty
bleeding out my little light
and no longer was I me

I went to school the next day
sat down in my cold seat
knowing it was solely a delay
of when my time here is complete
