A boy caught in a fire. ( true story)

by Kit Kat Katie   May 5, 2005


He was all alone
No one to be with
So he went to the Neighbors
all the kids were bad, it was just a myth

As the day went on
The kids went out and messed around
Scottie lit a fire
The flame was tall and easily found

Scottie didn't know what to do
He kicked the bowl of gas
That boy was covered in fire
Would he get a chance to pass

The boy's name was Brandon
He's in the hospital now
Scottie almost killed him
How could he be so foul?

Back to the story
As you all see
Scotties a bad person
The myth was true to be

Two weeks later
After Intensive care
Skin graphing and phone calling
The pain he couldn't bare

Friends were at the hospital
Caring for his near loss
But Scottie didn't care
He acted like he was his boss

One month past
He's still in that hospital bed
He couldn't go to school that next year
His heart just bled

Sports was all over for him
Friends could only speak
Of what he missed out on
Every single week

Scottie had no say
In what he ever did
Everyone knew the truth
He just stayed home and hid

One year has past
Scars on his arms, legs and face
Third degree burns leave marks
For the boy felt he was a disgrace

Scottie came back to school
He was ready to fight
No one understood why
But Brandon cryed that night

He almost lost his life
To a childish thing
Playing with fire is bad
I'd rather go pick out sum Bling!

So now Brandon's all better
The scars are still there
They will be for the rest of his life
But he passes by without a care

Even thought he's better
We are all still mad
But we'll get through don't worry
I guess he doesn't miss the past he had

****** this is a true story that happened to my best friend. . I was his girlfriend at the time, so it was devastating for me to here the news. He was horribly injured. 3rd degree burns from him ankles up to his forehead.. But, he's better now the fact it happened shocks me though. Please vote and comment, it would mean SO much to me. Thank you!

    Wow...Amazing ...A young boy from our Elementary school was once playing with a lighter, he liked the sound it made when you pressed the button...Then on an accident he sparked it and his whole face and upper body caught on fire...It was devastating, he had to wear a clear plastic mask for 8 months, and he was only 10...
    Good Job
