bruises run dark
down the body of this lad
each unfurling the story
another uncaring deadbeat dad
he walks down school halls
some self proclaimed niche of hell
hanging his head without thought
as he strives to impel
groups of kids walk past the lad
one thought on the mind
they rush up to the pleading boy
his begging merely disinclined
they push and they shove
yet he fights with all his might
all of this torment and abuse
a never ending darkness without light
crowds shoot helpless glances
watching the boys eye's full of misery
only to keep walking
focused only on their own babblery
from his school to his home
he can not seem to escape this fate
so he turns to what he knows
a plan he intends to actuate
to disappear from this world
would end this cruel maltreatment
staring into the deep blue water
he lunges for total absolvement
if only someone stood up
said enough and showed they cared
a life might have been saved
tonight a soul would be spared
we all have the power
the ability to stop this unfair trend
when you see someone in pain
show them, they do have a friend
