He sat in his high school classroom
They called him weird
rather than understand
Ignored rumors being spread
Saying he was suicidal
One night in his room
Staring at the knife
His cousin gave him
Thinking about ending it
Bleed out from the wrist
He grew up poor
The pain wasn't forever
This fatal ending would be
He remembered everyone
Those who doubted him
Laughed at him in school
High school was easy
The college living was hard
On his own could barely pay his phone
He sat in silence thought
Decided to work hard be better
Not listen to the negativity
Prove them wrong shut them up
It was a struggle while others peaked
