Angry Child
by Jenifer LowreyMy face is imprinted on the ground
My body is mangled and mutilated
How did I get here?
I saw my life pass before me
All around me there is blood
The blood of a broken heart
My misadventure will stain the hearts of many
As they are passing through
Will they wonder what caused
A sweet and vulnerable child to end their life
Or tend to block it out
If only someone would have listened
That’s all I ever wanted
But you had to be too busy
To notice the burning flame of rage
That was in my heart as I
Plunged off N.Y.’s largest asylum
Next time you’ll listen
The blood from my body is disappearing
You don’t feel any remorse
