A kid at school hung himself After it, posters of mental health People grieving, a wailing hell "Oh God. I knew him so well!" Micheal was a stranger to me Well, not when I was a bit older than three He seemed like such an odd kid I didn't think something was wrong with him He was a pretty special guy So the question is, why? He was special in the other way No, not bi, trans or even gay. Michael had downs But it never made him frown Everytime I saw him he smiles And so do I, for quite a while I can't speak for myself I didn't really talk to him well But it angers me quick When they prey on the loss like ****** Kids in high school are insane They want sympathy, even just a grain So when they whine and cry It makes me want to provide a black eye Micheal had struggled to live normally And you aren't acting quite morally When you cry among your wolf pack Just for a feeling of a pat on the back And then comes the next day It's like all of it went away You're back to acting as usual Odd how now no grief lies in your skull To you, he was flavor of the day Ate him up like crème brûlée To me, he may have been another face But at least it's one I dont disgrace. **** you for making him your platform Pretending to ******* mourn Just so you act like you have a tough life And get sympathy without being in strife **** you and your hollow morals **** you, with your fake, teary babbles **** you and your attention-seeking sniffles **** you for using his struggles. **** You.
