Pizza FaceA Poem by ettorneyCareful how you taunt and tease - a tortured poem by ettorney
They called him pizza face
And when he ran they gave chase The faster he ran the more they kept pace They used every taunt all the means to debase No where was safe; there was no safe place He tried oh he tried to put up a bold face But ne'er could he handle the pain and disgrace Things of beauty and color and lace Were denied to the boy they called pizza face. When he looked in the mirror preparing to brace For the image he'd see was the worst in his case He looked at his skin and stepped back a pace Four years of high school, four years of pain Four years of torture, four years of shame But today it was different he was not too sure how Something had changed so he furrowed his brow His skin was still ugly and blemished but now When he saw all the pimples it hit him like, POW! So he readied his plans and swore that somehow No more would he suffer not ever not now "No more will they taunt me of this I will vow" He was ugly and wretched and he didn't care how But the pain and the suffering would be long gone at last Standing six foot feeling strong and steadfast His future was certain the dice had been cast The pizza faced boy soon a thing of the past He knew no more anguish his thoughts had surpassed The life he had led before when outcast No more was he taunted nor chided, harassed All those b******s at school the ones he outclassed They could never imagine what was coming their way For he swore his revenge as he knelt down to pray for the strength and the courage to make them all pay So he picked up a gun as he thought with dismay He knows what he is and he knows what they'll say "That pizza faced boy brought death and decay" When he painted the school with their blood that sad day. And then came a time when the tears were all dry After the funerals where bereft families cry After the moments to mourn and say bye The parents of children who alas were to die Would wonder forever and think with a sigh That boy with the acne so quiet and shy What made him do it, "I don't understand why?" © 2010 ettorneyAuthor's Note
