Some lives can be burned in an instant.
Some can go up in flames.
Those are the celluloid lives,
There are no others the same.
They burn so easily.
Their live leave behind no rashes.
Their lives burn up in fire,
And their life turns to ashes.
One minute they're your friend.
The next they are a killer.
To me, I understand.
To you, it is a thriller.
The celluloid life,
Of one single boy.
Age 15 killed all his classmates,
With his daady's toy.
There was horror in the school,
Ending all that were alone.
Ending the lives of nineteen people,
Then he ended his own.
People were shocked it was him.
"He was always quiet." a teacher said.
But nobody took the time to listen,
Or understand the crazy thoughts in his head.
It's no one's fault people are like this,
It's your fault you didn't comprehend,
The actions of the celluloid lives,
And why their life comes to an early end.

--Evan L.--

asking for comments is unnecessary. they should be deserved and not asked for. the fact that you ask shames your piece with pity comments and the illusion that you do not think it deserves comments on its own.

dont listen to what the previous comment says. i think this poem is really good. im not saying this out of pity im saying this as a fellow poet. asking for comments ensures that you can get a good look at what the world thinks of your work. essentially9 is an idiot. if you cannot ask for comments than youre probably just scared of what people might say. to me putting 'comment please' is a good idea as then people might think twice about skipping over commenting. nice work-loved it.
