LIFE’S PRECIOUS

- Lily S. Chothe
Tired of being laughed at;
The bickerings, the smirk
On those faces
The cold shoulders, the pinching
The isolation of being shunned

Tired of being alone.
She could still hear,
The hostility of those faces
She couldn’t hear it any longer.

She tired
Oh! She tired
She chose a way out
She knows it was wrong
But she didn’t care.
She’s just so sick,
Sick of being laughed at.
She wanted out!

Yes, she knew a way out
She took red ones, yellow ones,
Every colour she could find.
She didn’t say goodbye,
Knowing they wouldn’t care,
That no one would miss her.
But something went wrong.
She knew it was enough,
To knock her dead.
She went wrong?
Sirens wailing……..
The doctors pumping……
Hours later, she’s in bed.
Realising that she had
Another chance to live.
She had learnt to lesson.
She’ll had learnt the hard way
She’ll never forget,
Life’s precious!
