Broken Backpack

 REST IN PIECES:
MY SCHOOL BOOK-BAG/BACKPACK. #1
2011-2012
MY SCHOOL BACKPACK #2
2012-2012 
(Maybe backpack #3 won't join you so soon. XD )


Hanging from a thread,
carrying all the burdens
that I do everyday,
could be my demise.

I could snap in an instant,
dropping my weight 
to the stone, cold ground, 
and that's what I did.

Look at me fall,
watch me in awe,
because I can pick myself back up.
I have an arm left.

...And then you cut it off.
Because YOU were uncomfortable with my spare arm,
so you just amputate it. 

I was about to perish anyway.
I didn't want to suffer anymore.
And as much as this sounds like a suicide...
YOU MURDERED ME.

But I'll never be forgotten.
