This is just a little poem I wrote. It hasn't been editted very well. I only just read through it a couple of times. Please tell me what you think of it though :D

There once was a boy

He loved to read and write

Really it was his passion

It made him feel right

He would travel off to unknown worlds

Using the dreams he envisioned

Bringing them to life

With the words he had written

He loved what he did

But he did it for a reason

He used writing as a distraction

To make him feel that he was needed

He used it as a way

To make everything seem unreal

The boy wrote his stories

To makethe pain disappear

There once was a family

Three boys, a mother and a father

Two of boys that were loved

The other left for the slaughter

The family hated that one child

To the very bone under their skin

The brothers wished he wasn’t alive

To them he was a sin

Calling theboy names

Laughing and playing jokes

Making him seem stupid

To all the other folks

The father beat the child

Whenever he got upset or mad

He hit his son viciously

The son he didn't want to have had

His mother sat by and watched

Sometimes she tried to cheer him up

But he knew it was all just a lie

She didn’t care very much

There once were these friends

So full of life and joy

They all laughed and played

Wishing they all could soar

But there was a boy in the group

Who seemed out of place

He didn’t laugh or smile

Or join them as they raced

He pretended to seem happy

Like the rest of them were

But each day he grew sadder

Not acting like they were

The friend always laughed

At the boy they all knew

They made fun of him and cracked joked

Making him feel blue

To them

It was amusing

To them

It was a little game

Torturing him on the inside

Making him feel pain

There once was a boy

Who hated his life

Who would do anything

For things to go right
