Boys Will Be Boys
The pain will never go away, it just stays.
Everyday he tried to keep his head held high,
but everything would change in just ten days.
They said boys will be boys, it’s just a phase,
but again they were wrong, just one more lie.
The pain will never go away, it just stays
Each year, each month, each day was just a haze,
and all he wanted was to say goodbye,
but everything would change in just ten days.
The words, the pain, were just a repeated phrase,
He was their target, a special bull’s eye.
The pain will never go away, it just stays.
School was pointless, just another maze.
One without escape, no matter how he try,
but everything would change in just ten days.
He made up his mind, and got no delays.
His last words: they were just simple goodbyes.
The pain will never go away, it just stays,
but everything did change, in just ten days.
