Boy In The Back Of The Room
He is the boy in the back of the room
Never remembered, always forgotten
Too awkward for the popular kids,
Too self confident for the nerds
No where to go, No one to tell
Too shy to talk to his teachers,
Too afraid to talk to parents
No where to go, No one to tell
Bottles his feelings deep down inside,
Decides tonight is the night
Goes downstars to the medicine cabinet,
Grabs a handful of pills
Takes them all with one big gulp,
Goes back to his room to die
Nobody notices that his chair is empty,
Nobody remembers that there was once someone there
He is never remembered, always forgotten,
The boy in the back of the room.

I hope that people understand how much a simple hello can change a person's life. I was once in a similar situation and it felt so lonely, with no one to talk to about how I was feeling. So when you see that guy who may not have many friends, remember that everyone struggles, some more than most.
