Success Destroyed Contained
success of it could of been his
the one and only never here
always around but never near
breathe of wisdom
conspiracy was always against
hating him for his words
screeching at him like birds
unfortunate tragedy
unlucky to be what he was
perfect in every way
dreaming of success one day
discriminating for his wisdom
unfortunate to be perfect
rumors of hate spread around
pushing further towards the ground
punishing him for being smart
crushing his hopes and dreams
and they throw him to the floor
waiting until the torture is no more
bullying him because they can
the teachers see but do nothing
watching his spirit diminishing
bullies were left punising
protecting the wrong person
parents on the bullies case
victims of him never survive
each day goes there lucky to be alive
destroyed diminished relinquished
shout scream and yelling
they laugh at his pain
there is nothing to gain
but they do it anyway
success life love and money
was in his future and dreams
worse than anybody thought it seems
might as well took his life
troubled with no where to turn
pain flooded through his veins
slowly driving him insane
victims understandable destroyed and contained
