Last Chance

An innocent soul lost in the struggle to fit in He was a shy kid we all know him He kept to himself Deep inside of him he had the desire to be a “cool kid” Where you are known for partying and drinking Where you are known for all the wrong reasons He got his chance the night before graduation He was invited to the party that would be his annihilation He lied to his parents he saw no harm in it He was excited to make his debut He arrived as the beer was flowing heavy As the freshman girls where getting giggly He stood out like white at a funeral They spotted him the “cool kids” They swarmed him and charmed him He drank like he had a bottom less stomach He felt the intoxication hit him like a sledge hammer He still felt the emptiness The desire to belong was no longer there He was vomiting and falling everywhere They stood around him pointing and laughing He had to escape this hateful environment He stumbled into his vehicle He looked at the "cool kids" He said screw it He speed away to an early grave Everybody whispers at his funeral why him He was so quite He was so shy He just wanted to fit in He just wanted to be a “cool kid”!! bY rudY
