He....

by Katelyn   Sep 10, 2007


He doesn't know where he's going in life
don't think he really cares
just look at how he dresses
there's no way he's getting anywhere
teachers don't really like him
and i really don't blame them
he spends all his days shouting
while we spend our doubting
we can tell he never tries
and yeah, why should we care?
but what i really think
is there's a secret hidden somewhere
does he cry out in the middle of the night?
is he scared daddy might bite?
on comes the lights as he claps
but then comes his dad
with a long stinging slap
first across the face then on his chest
doesn't want to cry out trying his very best
then comes a noise as his dad throws a chair
it's little sister sitting on the stairs
he wants to be brave
but then who's going to be there to save?
In the morning it'll all be over....
all the pain will be gone
his class mates chilled to the bone.
he'll never be back in school
not there hunched over in his chair
now we won't be able to stare
you know he never really had a chance
so how did we expect him to dance?
impress us all with the little he had?
i guess we should have known,
that was our bad.....
