12:17-12:30

today, someone died.

today, someone was given life.

today, someone cried

cause they couldn't bear the strife.

and so today,

someone died because

of the way

that he was

looked at,

because they did stare.

stared at his scars,

laughed at his broken heart,

it killed him, it really did.

it tore him apart.

he's just a kid

no difference from them,

only maybe he's a little stronger,

he's bearing it like a man.

until he couldn't.

he just couldn't do it anymore.

though live he said he would,

his head hit the floor.

the clang as metal

landed beside him.

delicate as a petal,

the body of a him.

a him who used to be living,

a him that had dreams.

a him that was swimming,

who promised he wouldn't sink.

nobody noticed though,

that he started sinking a while ago.
