The Cruelty of Children

This isn’t how it was supposed to be.

It appears he will die as he lived- alone.

 

Why is life so unkind to me?

Parentless, he grew up alone.

 

The daily dose of them confines my happiness.

In this way he is never alone.

 

I’m fed up with being a toy of torment.

He climbs the flights of stairs alone.

 

The breeze caresses my face- a comfort.

Up on the ledge he stands, alone.

 

It rarely matters in life- what is fair.

He steps forward, falling to the earth- alone.

So sad...when one feels they must die because of bullying...well thought out.
