Hero

No one sits with him, he doesnt fit in

but we feel like we do when we make fun of him

cause you want to belong, do you go along

cause his pain is the price paid for you to belong

its not like we hate him or want him to die

but maybe he goes home and thinks of suicide

or he comes back to school with a gun at his side

and a kindness from you might have saved him life

no one talks to her, she feels so alone

she's into much pain to survive on her own

the hurt she cant handle overflows to a knife

she writes on her arm, wants to give up her life

each day she goes on is a day that she is brave

fighting the lie that giving up is the way

each moment of courage her own life she saves

when she throws out the pills a hero is made

no one talks to him about how he lives

he thinks that all the choices he makes are just his

doesnt know he's a leader with the way he behaves

and others will follow the choices he's made

he lives on the edge, he's old enough to decide

his brother who wants to be him is just nine

he can do what he wants because it's his right

the choices he makes changes a nine year old's life
