Those Around You

I see him in my class
while he always gets harassed.
He looked in the mirror
and decided he’d never shed another tear.

He went home and walked through the door
into his fathers room to grab a four-four.
And said “I can’t take life no more.”
Just like that, life can be lost.

Created from the SuperChic[k] Song called "Hero."

    It is sad what kids to to other kids - the nastiness, pettiness and cruel acts they do - some cannot take all the bullying and name calling and take what to them is the only way out. A sad state - sentiments well expressed in these lines. (You have been HOODWINKED by The Poetic Bandits.)

    Wow! I dont know if it is your best or not, but I know it was fantastic. You made such a strong call in just a few lines. So many kids are tortured during school and these bullies don't seem to take in to consideration how much their words can do. I feel for these poor kids. Thank you for entering my contest, and giving me a different topic to read about.

    Yeah it's very sad indeed. A life destroyed in the prime with all the possibilities.
    As to the message, I'm afraid it's a bit unclear to me. Do you mean that we should be kinder to our peers? Or that death is a beginning for a better life? Or that life is too precious and we should appreciate it more?

    AHH i was JUST gonna ask if you got this from "Hero". That has got to be one of my favorite songs of all time. i've loved it since the first time i heard it. I like how you took what the song said and made it a little more personal than it was. I also like the title... how it implies that this person could be anyone you meet. I like it!
