Beneath the Pages

• Artist: Xxhidden_wingsxX
• Description: this poem is written about a boy who had no one to talk to, and only found happiness in the books he read. I think you can tell what happened when you read the poem. I dedicate this to all boys and girls who feel alone and who get taunted at school and everywhere else each and every day. maybe one of the people who does taunt them will read this and have second thoughts about what they've done.
  on that happy note, please rate and comment, and please think about this poem. ^^ thank you <3

He sits alone
reading his books
trying to escape
the overwhelming reality
and the pain he feels.
Everyday.

Beneath the pages
the characters are his friends
their world is his own
his happiness comes from them
or so he wishes.
Everyday.

Their taunts he can't escape
their words linger in the darkness of his mind
until he can't escape
the horrible worthlessness
and emptiness he feels.
Everyday.

He finds the gun
in his daddy's secret drawer
he holds onto the trigger
prepares for the emptiness
prays he'll go to heaven.
Today.

His name and picture
are on the headlines of the news
they say that he took his life
and that he was such a quiet boy.
The quiet was truly his screaming.
Yesterday.

His name is on a rock
engraved in cursive writing
date of birth and date of death
is all the cursive says.
R.I.P., pray you'll find happiness wherever you are.
Tomorrow.
