Little Jimmy

He's made fun of for the last time. Tied a rope up. Walking through the halls of high school. The rope is swinging from the stairwell. He jumped on the railing, Head inside the rope loop. He jumps and gets choked. That was in 1930. He was never nerdy. He just wanted to be FREE.

That's not free. It's reality that he couldn't find a way to cope. The pain is real even if the reasoning isn't. Sometimes it's overwhelming and that's when you have to roll with it until the storm is over. God Bless. Vince
