Child tragedies
Lucy jumped off a building thinking she'd be saved
 unluckily she didn't rethink that until she hit the pave
 and what a shame 
who is there to blame 
but yourself 
as you sit in despair
 and. Can't help but care
 as this girl falls through air 
another child tragedy

He was gay 
who cared who he choose to lay 
and love 
as he was pushed and shoved 
by everyone and they treated like he had cancer
 just cause he liked being a dancer and preferred his beers on the Lite side
 the not right side in our minds
 but we were  so blind
 to we're this teenager drowned himself in a bath
 trying to wash away the pain
 that he gained because he was different
 another child tragedy

Robert was 16 he did it with a gun 
he figured whats the point when he already had a son
 at the age of one 
with the gun in his mouth
 and the bullet through his head 
there he lay dead
 on the floor as 
the child watched the blood poor
 from the hole 
and another sole broken
 from 
a child tragedy

His was different
 she was strange 
there possibly all deranged 
and we all judge them madly 
but sadly there all just a child tragedy

He was retarded 
discarded
 bruised and broken 
chokin with despair
 at how life was unfair 
and he was screwed from the start  forced to cart around problems others never would or should have to bear 
but who cared because they never shared 
sympathy for someone different in this child tragedy

Mistake 
after mistake
 she had taken 
all she could take 
her heart about to break 
as she rakes the money together for the pills
 that support the last thrills 
that push her into death 
a nervous breath
 as she pops the first one in 
as she awaits her death 
in a child tragedy

I know it's sad 
I know it's bad
 so don't get mad at me 
I know it's just as sad
 you see to me 
we are all the next 
child tragedy 
waiting to happen
 when we collapse 
and can't find 
a way out
 without a doubt 
or a breath
so desperate awaiting death

Man's inhumanity to child tragedy, in multiple voices. Realism. A very real child tragedy~

this is one weighty poem, and I commend you for trying to capture grief from so many perspectives in one poem. You told their stories well. Great Job.
