It’s frustrating. It’s not fair. They are happy and go on with their lives like nothing
Happened. It is my life they ruined and I'm the only one that notices the change.
It's true. They didn't take a knife and stuck it in my heart. They took an invisible dagger
Fabricated with mist and drew a hole in my soul. The least I can do is let them know. Let them hear
My thirteen reasons why. I know hearing it from my lips will hunt.
And my voice will follow them throughout out their lives and even after their own
Deaths. And so my life won't be the only one that changes
Or ends...
Cassette 1: Side A
First Kiss
It started simply
With a kiss
a beautiful kiss
a beautiful memory
a memory stained
with a rumer
a rumor based
upon my first kiss
a rumor that started
a reputation
a reputation
that started
a snowball effect
my snowball effect of a life
Cassette 2: Side A 
Mist
It’s a filthy layer
featherly light
easy to see
with a naked sight
in its misty sea
trapes the free
and fearfull soul
only seen through
a fearless soul
Blind you are
if you see the mist
And you are far
from knowing me
For I've become a prisoner
In the flesh of mist
because of you...
Rising ActionCassette 2: Side B
Fallen Star
You've shut my curtains
You've silenced the thunder
You've hide the stars
You've stolen my privacy
You've taken my last safe place
Made my list
Made my map
Made a red star
But you are far
to being my
Star
ClimaxCassette 5: Side A
Hell
Vanquished and betrayed
I've been sent
from the heavens above
To a world overlaid
in a base of rumors
Hidden from encouragement
Deprived of my own privacy
I've to shut the stars away
Sent from the heavens above
to be lonely and cold
In a world full of scares
there is no one to hold
Its fogy and dark
The moon my only light
Shining like a dove
A marvelous sight
Now the moon is not even there
He was to late...
Cassette 6: Side A
No Better
They only had two chances
and we both let them down.
I was confused hurt and tired
but there is no excuse to what I did
no matter how I felt I should have helped
Should have stopped him
Should have called sooner
but I didn't
I helped ruin a life
true
I didn't touch her
but still helped
I helped end a life
true
I didn't drive the car
but I still helped
I am no better than any of them
Falling Action

I feel like I'm on a ladder. The ladder is my life. It’s unstable.
It trembles at my every step.Should have moved faster. Should have been afraid
of becoming her. But instead... I gave in. The stair vibrate faster
making me shake with them. Then all of a sudden I'm falling.
I guess it is unfair to say it’s all of a sudden .People have climbed and stepped on me so many times
I became fragile. the crystal stair couldn't hold so many hurt. I look around and see crystal.
crystal memories of what has been my life from the start of this place. I hold on to the last crystal stair remaining.
then I look down and see an end and I let go. I see darkness and crystals. I see many ways out.
But it would be unfair to have my parents see me like that.
So I choose the easiest way out. One way that will cause less pain to my loved ones.
Suddenly I have an idea. And the crystals became pills.
Now I know my way out...

I’ve thought about it many times.
every time as a passing thought but sometimes I'd take it further. I 'de think
of ways to end it ways to stop all of the madness.
I could use a gun but I don't have one my Dad doesn’t have one
and I wouldn't know how to get one.
I could also hang myself but where how what would I use to hang myself?
And even if I knew how and where I couldn’t do that to mom and dad.
I couldn't have them find me hanging a few feet from the floor. Breathless and lifeless.
so the painless and easiest way I could think of was pill.
But what kind what type and how many.
Those are simple details I can figure out when the moment comes.
But I’m content with my resolution. I’m calm now and I have my mind set.
I willed my life tomorrow and there will be no one to stop me
Tomorrow is the last day I will see everyone. I will know my last words to them and
And know it is the last time I will see them
the difference is that I will know and they won't.
Cassette 6: Side B
I've said many things. I've talked about many people. but I the end It always comes down to me...
I asked you to not give up on me and hear everything I have to say.
But isn't that an odd thing to ask of you when it’s me who is giving up.
In the end what it all comes down to is "me... giving up... on me."
Cassette 7: Side A
Mr. Porte was my last hope. I went to him hoping he could help me stop myself. But in the end he let me go as I disappeared through the door. Many people saw me. but no one stepped forward to stop me.
I needed to find out who cared about me. And a lot of you did. Just not enough.
And I found out.
"And I'm sorry"
Cassette 7: Side B
"Thank you."
In a second your life can crumble at you feet making you wish you could go back
to the time where you made the most stupidities.
When I heard my tape I felt like that.
She didn't blame me. No one blames me. But I'm guilty.
I could have helped her; I could have stopped her from what she did.
I should have had enough courage to go up to her and ask her the many questions that ran through
my head countless numbers of times. But I didn't, afraid of the answers I didn't.
I shouldn't have let her go. No matter how afraid I was, I shouldn't
have left her in that room all alone.
I look into Mr. Porter’s room and see dozens of faces. Familiar faces that know me but don't
know what I'm going through now. Then I see Skye walking down the same hall I saw Hanna baker
for the last time.
She disappeared in the crowd of student leaving the tapes to say her good-bye.
But Skye. Skye who decided to hide her beauty wearing loose cloths and
her face behind her hair is still there.
I can hear her footsteps sounding weaker the further she gets.
Even though I want to ignore her I can't. I can't let another person slip away.
I start to follow her. I pass Mr. Porter and see his face. When I see it I feel Anger pain, sadness and pity. Then I hear Skye’s footsteps getting louder. And I feel hope.
The closer I get to Skye the lighter I feel. My body begins to relax.
I turn the corner and there she is. I walk faster And within a second she is two steps away...
Resolution
I could have chosen to talk to them clear everything out.
Let them know how I really am.
I could have solved my problems with all of them but I didn't.
I chose to keep all my felling in and decided to end my problem another way.
