He had enough of this life...

by Matthew Schut   Oct 6, 2011


Your parents tell you they don't love you
They are always yelling, saying you were a mistake
Your emotions are burning, tears pouring down
It won't take much more before you break

You have to walk to school by yourself
Because no one is willing to drive you
The kids always laugh and steal your things
Today was no different, you are missing your glue

You are afraid to raise your hand in class
So you sit in your chair with nothing to say
The teacher calls your name to answer the question
Scared and sweating, you turn away

"Bobby, please give me your answer"
"I'm sorry but I don't know"
You slide back down into your seat
Wishing that you could just get up and go

But where would you walk to
You have no place to call home
Your parents don't want you
So you sit there, feeling so alone

Lunch time is a miserable time
Kids throw food at you and laugh
Asking, "why don't you have any food
And don't you know how to answer in math"

You get up with pain in your heart
And storm out of the lunch room door
Heading straight to the bathroom stall
And scream, "I can't take this anymore"

You pull out a gun that belongs to your dad
Crying endlessly with tears in your eyes
Putting the barrel next to your head
"I just can't take any more of these lies"

You quickly write a goodbye note
"I'm sorry I couldn't take it anymore,
I go home every day being told I'm worthless,
Every night I cry myself to sleep on the cold floor

And in school, all the kids make fun of me
I'm sorry that you had to find me like this"
He cries as he pulls the trigger
Knowing that he will not be missed...
