Lonely Boy

"You're better off dead"!
His heart shattered till it bled
Those hate words from his father
He never seemed to bother

Lonely Boy keeps on smiling
He knew he was lying
What can I do he said
As darkness began to spread

"You better grow up"!
He looked on as a sad pup
Pathetic words from his sister
When her life is a tongue twister

Lonely Boy keeps on smiling
He knew he was lying
What can I do he said
As darkness began to spread

"Just have some faith"!
He looked on like a wraith
Repetitive words from his mother
One right after another

Lonely Boy keeps on smiling
He knew he was lying
What can I do he said
As darkness began to spread

Lonely Boy it's time to escape
Time to leave this dark landscape
Goodbye world I am just through
These are my final words to you

It is sad that sometimes the cruelest people in our lives are our own parents. Those people who are supposed to love us unconditionally. Nothing hurts quite as bad as the scars they inflict or by being rejected by them all-together.
They should be held accountable, but they are not, because, unfortunately, any fool can have a child.
For my own reasons, I am giving this a really high score.

It is true. The child will mostly always be seen as the fool and even bad guy at times. It isn't fair, for we have our own feelings and thoughts. I wish you well and thank you for reading my poem.

True. Children are human beings too, and even more than that. They grow up to be adults.
