The Effects of Society on Teens
He would always sit alone.
A book in his hand and specks on his eyes,
Was his disguise
From the pain inside
And even though no one ever really saw him,
We still brought him down.
More than enough to make him drown...
Im so tired of it all!
But, I guess, he was too.
Beacause even though we caused it,
He took the greatest fall.
They found him in the bathtub,
Full of blood and not so sober.
A letter on his dresser,
Reading: "I wish that I was better,"
Now, theres an empty seat in the back of our class
That no one ever fills
Because it belonged to an emptiee boy.
Who we all killed.
Now or then we'll hear his name
And we'll think back to a certain time or place.
Realize there was always something we could have changed,
But now its too late.
He's already gone...
Will we ever take the blame?

Everyday teens struggle with who they are. The teenage years are hard. This age is where you start to look at everyone around you and feel like maybe your just not enough. But its hard enough without people tearing yoi down. As someone who has had depression my entire life, and been bullied, the subject of suicide has been brought up many times. Many people arent as fortunate to be able to get the help I have received. The person I write about in this poem is just one scenario.
