Alone

You know those dudes you think are cool
Those guys that get kicked out of school

They go about life day by day
And never have a place to stay

Some are beatin some are abused
Tomorrow they'll be on the news

Child missing fifteen years old
One week later the case goes cold

They never had kids or a wife
And didn't get to live their life

A lot of sad truth in your poem about the "dudes you think are cool." There are often problems related to abuse in their past. Well stated, Kody!
