Charter Vision

In his Eyes

Samuel (RiverBend Academy) Originally published March 2004

While all the other kids point and laugh at him
I wonder what it would be like if the world were so dim
Just once I wish they could see through his eyes

Being picked on and made fun of until he cries
They push him down and steal his glasses
He falls victim to daily recess bashes
While we’re hanging out at games and mlls
He sits in his room alone and bawls

The jocks steal his money
And they think its funny
If only they weren’t so mean if only they were wise
Maybe they could have seen life in his eyes
He finally stuck up for himself which I think is fine

I just never imagined he’d re-enact Columbine
