The Truth

Excellence Award in the 'Top Secret 2016' competition

I walk into the dark, lonely room, memories filling my head
I turn to see my parents sobbing, sitting huddled on my bed
Slowly I step towards them, wondering what could be wrong
‘How could this happen?’ they question as I silently move on
I tread through the rain, toward the school to find my peers
They are all sitting wordlessly, their eyes filled with tears
The principal rises up; he utters, ‘I can’t explain my misery’
What could be so wrong? I thought everyone would be happy
I stumble along the flooded path, and I cannot help but stare
Bouquets of my favourite roses have been placed everywhere
I slip through the church doors, there’s a funeral taking place
I drift toward the coffin; I am greeted by my own face
I thought nobody loved me, I thought nobody cared
I thought if I was gone then the damage would be repaired
I thought I could end my story; end this awful feeling of bitter
I guess I was wrong; maybe I shouldn’t have pulled the trigger
