a boy died today
i scream
banging my head against the wall
my nails cutting into my pounding fists

a boy died today
i cry
fierce, angry, wet tears roll down my face
mapping out the directions
my sorrow will take

a boy died today
i sit
staring off into space
not screaming
not crying
just trying to forget

a boy died today
just like yesterday
and tomorrow it will happen again
so why don't you cry?
why don't you scream?
why are you pretending everything's alright?

a boy died today
i think
i know
i remember
sinking into my pain
letting it overtake me
leaving me broken
a boy died today.
