The Boy

The Boy
the helpless boy
who tried so hard to please
who worked so hard to achieve
and was shot down
shot down till there wasn't much farther to fall
told he was worthless
nothing
invisible

Years later
a rope
a chair
a beam
a life
taken by his own strength
by his own mind
by his own choice
but not by his own fault

The teacher
the strong teacher
who tried so hard to teach
who worked so hard to acheive
but shot down
shot down till there wasn't much farther he could fall
telling him he was worthless
nothing
invisible

Years later
a coffin
a flower
a kneeler
a life
taken by it's own strength
its own mind
it's own choice
but it was her fault.
