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.


The author's comments:

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.
