This boy.

7 years old, and he's kicking and screaming,

"I'll only go to school if you give me a reason, all the kids are really mean, and I know all the things they are teaching."

He cries every night, but nobody hears.

He sits in his room, soaked in tears.

"Why? Why wont they listen to me?"

He shouts, but nobody comes.

He runs and run, the floor under his feet crumbles.

He falls, into a dark pit of his own sorrow.

"Will it end tomorrow?"

No, the answer is no.

It won't end, unless you make it end.

Find the light after the dark.

Free yourself from the pain,

"But how?"

I don't know how, that's for you to figure out.
