He lurks in the shadows
Afraid to be seen
Afraid have being laughed at
Afraid of others being mean

He is an outcast
To his classmates
And kids at school
He does not fit in
With the nerds
Or with those
Who are cool
He tries to rise above
They just shove him back down
Then the laughter starts
Sounding from all around

Hr cries silent tears
After a day of laughter and sneers
He chokes on each hateful word
Barely able to catch his breath
He has cried so much
It hurts his chest

He thinks about ******
Just killing them all
Being the one laughing
Watching them fall
He thinks about taking his on life
That would just be a waste
No one in this school
Would care enough
To show up at his wake

The pain
The hatred
Continues to take it's toll
He carries on
Knowing he is strong
Strong enough to handle their hate
Until the day they graduate
Then he can tell them all goodbye
Never having to see them again
