HE
Eyes so bright
Smile so sweet
Innocent and pure
to everyone he meets
Loved by all
timid and shy
like a budding rose
but all flowers must die
Forced laugh
Fake smile
hurting inside
all the while
Pretending and lies
is all he knows
double life hidden
inside fear grows
Comes home at night
to pain and fights
alcoholic parents
keep he up all night
Abuse and drugs
since he was small
she's good at pretending
they don't know at all
Crawl into bed
hear him come into he room
fear setting in
all too soon
Feel his touch
skin against skin
he's used to it now
he lets him win
Wake up next morning
he doesn't care
cover up bruises
like their not really there
Conceal heavy lines
under he eyes
been up all night
hoping he'd die
Go to school
pretend once more
try really hard
but what for?
Sick of it all
walks out of school
cant face another day
of feeling like a fool
Goes home again
another drunken fight
closes he eyes
cant stand the sight
Pops in a pill
what can it hurt?
it might take away he pain
of being treated like dirt
Another and one more
soon he blacks out
he breathing stops
without a shout
Parents walk in
ready to give hell
see he on the floor
walk away and think "oh well"
Truth still hidden
to this very day
everyone thinks
he threw his 'perfect' life away
