The boy woke up, just 14 years old.
He brushed his teeth just like he'd been told.
He rushed to the door & grabbed his books.
around & around he then looks.
From the second he reaches the bus the names start to be called.
They made fun of his clothes & the book-bag he hauled.
The boy never really fit in school.
Being different just didn't make you cool
I remember one day i saw him drentched in mustard.
kids were throwing pizza & school custard.
Then one poored milk over his head.
he walked to the office wishing to be dead.
& the girl he liked had no heart at all.
He gave her a flower & told her to call.
she took the flower & through it in the trash can.
& told him she'd never date such an ugly man.
so that night he said good night to his mother.
kissed his dad & tucked in his little brother.
He put on his shoes & walked through the night.
until his middle school crept into sight.
as he grabbed onto the rope he said his goodbye.
for then he decided he wanted to die.
so he took a step & down he fell.
he hung there right infront of his own hell.

Good to see you back, Ms. Lorna, it's been a while. This is a troubling story. I see for me, (and this is only my impression) this boy's act was more about anger than it was depression--he chose the most defiant way he could to "shove it in their face." I wish he could have taken out that anger on the bullies.
