The Outcast

By Julia Anne •
The outcast I will speak of here
No one would even go near.
Except for one single, special person
Whom Julie loved till her life was done.
It seems I neglected to tell you
That Julie is the name of the girl in this tale I am telling you.
And the name of that person, the only one who dared come near
Was a girl named Lanier.
She saw nothing wrong with Julie, nothing at all.
When Julie was mocked, bullied and pushed around
Lanier would step in, and pick Julie up off the ground.
But one day they made it so that she could not get to Julie.
And took Lanier away and locked her up somewhere no one could see.
They tortured poor Julie till she fell back dead
None of them cared in the slightest about this strange girl,
However when Lanier was found dead on the floor
Some said “HA!! We should have done this before!”
Others said “What have we done?!?”
