I only wrote this piece to give people a different perspective on things. Please do not read this poem if you get offended by these things. [bodytext] => Lonely kid, dressed in black
Always sat in the back of class
He had no friends and he was called a geek
Got tormented and beaten between bells
To him, school was a living hell
At home, things weren't so smooth either
Daddy's in jail and Mama's popping pills
So when he got home he'd run to his room and lock the door behind him
Then he would sit and reflect back on his day
In gym class he was chosen last and no one knew his name
The teasing got so bad that today he'd cut his class
As he sat there and cried, a horrible thought came to his mind
"I can make this end," he said.
"I'll bring my gun tomorrow and show all of them."
With this disturbing thought, he shut off his light for his final night
The next day at school the boy was cornered by a group of classmates
He heard them taunt him with "loser," "geek,"
and "ugly freak"
Then they started to hit him
He pulled out his gun as fast as he could and with two shaking fingers he pulled that trigger
Down went Joe, Sally, and Brian and all the rest that followed
When not a student was left the boy pointed to gun to his chest
And took his own life with one last blast
All the boy needed was someone who loved him, someone who would pull him through when the times got rough
He needed a friend to let him know that he belonged
Now I'm not saying that what the boy did was right, and he knew he was wrong
But all he wanted was to belong
Hopefully now you've seen the world through the eyes of an innocent killer [comments] => 4 [counter] => 157 [topic] => 67 [informant] => Katie2008 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => schoolproblems )

Through the Eyes of an Innocent Killer

That was very good writing and i think it's a horrible thing to be treated that way, but it does happen. My friend was in a situation like that, but he didn't go that far. Thanx for sharing good job!

I loved this! I can totally see your point. A lot of kids poKe fun at people all the time not seeing the harm they are doing. It tares me up inside to know some of these kids getting picked on are such great people when you get to know them. The "bullys" are usually suffering as well and are venting their anger and frustration out but they dont see that it can be dangerous and hurtful. I hated going to high school and seeing kids getting picked on. It ***** me off. I wish good luck and happyness to all of the kids out there who get picked on. Remember even if you dont believe it someone out there loves you!

SMILE BIG! :)
