My Second Life – a Poem

I was sent this brilliant poem by Keira-Joan Alexander from Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School in London, inspired by Emma’s character in My Second Life. I think it’s just brilliant so wanted to share it here. A huge thank you to Keira-Joan for agreeing that I can put it up on the website.

EMMA

My life at first was full of fun

Nothing to ruin it could be done

Then my life turned around

When Catherine’s heart didn’t pound

Then we found Catherine dead

We all felt empty I cried and wept

Then she shouted I killed her

Was I really a murderer?

Only if she was still alive

I could avoid this awful fight

But still at the end of the night

It was the guilt that took my life.

By Keira-Joan Alexander
