-This is a rough draft so to speak, I'll post the final one, when I'm finished. Tell me what u think!-
Unexpected

There once was a boy who sat alone at lunch
He was made fun of and called names by the popular bunch
Each and every day he let the names pass him by
He never “fought” back because the boy was too shy
The comments didn’t really bother the boy at first
Until one day when he felt the emotions inside would burst
The anger in the boy built up and grew strong
He couldn’t take much more; he knew it wouldn’t be long
The boy went home and thought about what he should do
He came up with a plan, which he decided to pursue
Each day he carefully contemplated his plan
If he followed through he knew he would not die a free man
The boy began to make preparations for his action
He knew this would be big, like a coming attraction
Very soon, he told himself the day would come
He knew exactly what to do, what would happen to some
At first the boy was frightened, but not anymore
Nobody knows whats coming,or what they have in store
The next day the boy arrived at schol with his plan worked out
Nobody would know what brought this on, what its really all about
The boy walked in and gave it one last thought
He could not be won over, he could not be bought
The boy silently walked into the library and began to proceed
He was thinking only of himself, not the others in need
He pulled out the gun he had been hiding
The boy never stopped to think of the pain he’d be providing
He went on and shot one of the popular girls
She never made fun of him; his mind was in a whirl
Then he went on to kill many, many others
Never realizing the pain coming to fathers and mothers
Maybe the boy would of never resorted to this violent deed
If the popular kids would of considered his feelings and his needs

Nicely done here. You brought about the latest happenings in the world into another perspective. I guess it's this whole dominoe effect that occurred.......the "rejects" are finally fighting back, but in all the wrong ways.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

I never thought that you would ever be the one to let me down. I guess that just goes to show how wrong I always am.
