He was a good kid once,
All smiles and personality that set him apart.
"A pleasure", his teachers said;
"A funny boy, but so smart"!
He was first among his friends and loved by family in those days.
But those days pass and life wears you down.
Romances failed him, or vice versa,
The big leagues never called,
And work was never interesting, just work.
Always his escape from what should have been was in the ****
Which got inside his head and changed him.
Frustration twisted him as years passed and dreams dimmed;
Every change was a loss he took as something stolen.
He didn't see he gave away what he lost,
So he wanted revenge on us because we couldn't help him.
His actions hurt us, but not how he thought it would,
We suffered to see him become the God who banished himself To the hell of his anger where the Satan he became
Keeps him locked away in lonely frustration.
He was a good kid once,
All smiles and personality that set him apart.
"A pleasure", his teachers said;
"A funny boy, but so smart"!
He was first among his friends and loved by family in those days.
Now he's gone and can't find his way back.
And I miss him.
