Literature Text
She said she wanted to be a writer
Because that’s what made her happy
But the other kids ridiculed her
For having such strange ideas
So she decided to lock her ideas away for a while
Lock away the princes and princesses
The fairies and far away kingdoms
So she could grow up a little
And then maybe they’d accept her
Because that’s all she really wanted.
She said she wanted to be a writer
Because it helped take away the pain
Growing up wasn’t what she expected
And it ripped down her defenses
Before she even had a chance to fight back
And so she left her old ideas where they were
And wrote about death instead
About abuse and rape and torture
To make her pain feel insignificant
Because that’s all she really wanted.
She said she wanted to be a writer
Because it would be the last thing she’d ever do
Though the sleeping pills made it hard to concentrate
And the tears blurred her vision
And smudged the ink of her pen
She needed to say goodbye before she fell asleep
And she wouldn’t regret a single thing
Because this was all she’d ever deserved.

Baudelaire Had Something Right
he tried another poem
And he called it "Absolutely Nothing"
Because that's what it was really all about
And he gave himself an A
and a slash on each damned wrist
And he hung it on the bathroom door
because this time he didn't think
he could reach the kitchen.
