From A Classmates View

I heard that he was insane

That his feelings were uncontrollable

I heard he committed suicide

It sounds so incredibly horrible

I heard he was seeing a shrink

I heard he thought he was fine

I heard he told him,

told him he could call anytime

but when he really needed him

He was declined.

I heard his father

he told him to be a man

He told him he couldn’t

and would never understand

I wonder has the guilt

swallowed him whole

I wonder will anything

fill his now empty soul

I heard his girlfriend she said goodbye

she was sick of the whines and all his cries

he said he didn’t need her

he needed no one

but in the end we all know he needed someone

I heard he did it with a gun

I wonder if it hurt

I heard he couldn't take it

All the pain and all the hurt

I heard he had a brother

a mother and a dad

I saw them at the funeral

they were bitter sweetly sad

I wonder does a tiger cry

when a brother loses his life

I wonder can you catch a tiger with a tear in its eye?
