He lurks in the shadows
Afraid to be seen
Afraid have being laughed at
Afraid of others being mean
He is an outcast
To his classmates
And kids at school
He does not fit in
Wth the nerds
Or with those
Who are cool
He tries to rise above
They just shove him back down
Then the laughter starts
Sounding from all around
Hr cries silent tears
After a day of laughter and snears
He chokes on each hateful word
Barely able to catch his breath
He has cried so much
It hurts his chest
He thinks about murder
Just killing them all
Being the one laughing
Watching them fall
He thinks about taking his on life
That would just be a waste
No one in this school
Would care enough
To show up at his wake
The pain
The hatred
Continues to take it's toll
He carries on
Knowing he is strong
Strong enough to handle their hate
Until the day theu graduatr
Then he can tell them all goodbye
Never having to see them again
