Shattering Mirrors.

Shattering Mirrors.

A Poem by Gabrielle Harris

I can't help but make a scene. 
It's part of me,
Who I am. 

I hate when people stare at me
Even if that's inevitably what I want. 
Names fly from all directions, 
I duck so they don't hit me. 
"Freak."
"B***h." 
"Weirdo."
"W***e."

So many more. 

I don't like the sourness that settles in my stomach
When one of the names hit me.
I run to the bathroom, 
The one with the shattered mirror,
And shatter more mirrors. 

I grab the gun I have brought with me, 
Walking into the halls. 
The first girl screams, 
And then there's blood. 

"Please don't."
"I'm so sorry."
"What did I ever do to you?" 
Everything. 
When it's all done, 
I smile. 
Putting the gun up to my own head, 
I pull the trigger.

I am no more.
