One life...

Rage building up to no extent.
Just thinking about every moment spent.
Looking across at him as tears fill his eyes.
Him wishing he would hurry and die.
Not wanting to be in this situation no longer.
Waiting, wanting, needing someone to feed his hunger.
Hunger for success, happiness, knowledge, and love.
Wanting to be set free like a beautiful dove.
Everyone looks at him without a second thought.
Not knowing he cherishes every moment hes taught.
Education is a given, where we're from.
Not where he is so we laugh and call him ignorant and dumb.
But no one does anything to help him better himself.
So he pushes his dignity, pride and self worth to the back shelf.
To beg and plead for your help and sympathy.
You throw things at him and make him crawl on his knees.
Not caring that one life, one person, can change the future.
No one thinks that far so they just call him a loser.
All it takes is for one person to step in.
To help him and stick by him until the end.
