His Life
Sam Rowell Jul 2011
Who will shine brightly now that he's gone
Like the candle lights after the funeral
His life was put out.
For some people life will never be the same
Their hearts forever broken.
He could be replaced by none
That boy was someone's son
Someone's friend
But in the end
It didn't matter.
Too scared to go for help
Too alone to cry out "Please someone SAVE me"
Too desperate for an end to see that things would get better.
But you don't care
Because you never recall
Those times in the hall
Him: pinned against the wall
Feeling so small
You: Looking left then right
No teachers in sight.
How could you not see
This young man's desperate plea
For you to just stop.
Everyday you harassed
Made a fool of him
You were so cruel to him.
WHY?
His faith in humanity was destroyed
No longer finding happiness in the things he once enjoyed
The void you made in his soul
Unrepairable
His life was so terrible and unbearable...

So he took it.

He left no note
No reason
But like leaves after the changing of the seasons
He had fallen.
Years later



His memorial coated in dust
Just a faint memory of him remained
Stained by your association
Frustration building in those he loved
Shoved reasons that made no sense
Intense questions remained unanswered

And because of you





They never will...

— The End —
