Dying Of Pain

Why does the world turn it's back on a kid,

Who needs all the help that he can get.

It just doesn't seem right- For him to have to fight,

Alone in this bottemless pit- He stands and he sits,

He's mad then he's pissed- Suicidal thoughts form,

But will he even be missed- Will his absence be noticed?

He's all by himself and the feeling is growing,

The pain is slowly showing- His face is no longer glowing.

Paleness is his complextion- He sees nothing in his reflection,

He's traveling down a road but he doesn't know the direction.

Wishing someone would try- But when they do he tells a lie,

Claiming to be fine- But he never looks in their eyes.

How much longer can he hide- The feelings that are inside,

It's solitary confinement- Imprisonment of the mind.

Without no one around- He no longer hides his frown.

His life has become nothing- He's emotionally drowned.

He looks over his shoulder- And no one is there,

Nothing but darkness- Because nobody cares.

He's gasping for air- He's choking on pain,

Life has enveloped him- Imprisoned his brain.

The lonliness takes over- And he suffocates to death,

The pain was too much- But it's all he had left.
