Consequences

I'm lying here
In a pool of blood
What did I do
To deserve this?
How was I supposed to know
That she was his girlfriend?
She came onto me
I would have never
Gone along with it
If I knew that this
Was what would happen
I try to get up
And call someone for help
But the pain is too intense
I fall back to the ground
What can I do?
Everything is going black
My pain's beginning to fade away,
Away to nothingness

My picture's supposed to be the one of the two hands reaching that I actually took myself, so in some places that's what I see, and in others it's the original, the owl. I like the hands better.

Well...

We still have recess here at westford, so we just ask to stay inside and go online. That way no teachers care that we're on (even though its a safe site) and no one bugs us, cause they're all outside.
