Ali Matheny Poet I do not know?

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.

James Foulk August 28, 2008 at 12:27 PM so tragic and sad, i know the feeling of being made fun of. i went through it all during my school years. so sad it had to end this way a very good write.

Vince Suzadail Jr. August 28, 2008 at 12:10 PM 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
