The boy woke up - Just 14 years old.
He brushed his teeth just like he'd been told.
He rushed to the door & grabbed his books.
around & around he then looks. From the
second he reaches the bus .. the names start
to be called. They made fun of his clothes &
the book-bag he hauled. The boy never really
fit in school. Being smart just didn't make you
cool. I remember one day i saw him drenched
in mustard. Kids were throwing pizza & the
school custard. Then one girl poured milk over
his head. He walked to the office wishing to
be dead. & the girl he liked had no heart at all.
He gave her a flower & told her to call. She
took the flower & threw it in the trash can.
& told him she'd never date such an ugly man.
So that night he said goodnight to his mother.
Kissed his dad & tucked in his little brother.
He put on his shoes & walked through the night.
Until his middle school creep into sight. So he took
a step & down he fell. He hung there right in front
of his own hell.
