There once was a boy named Jim
He was very strange and slim
One day he was at school
He fell asleep and started to drool
There was so much it made a pool
Everyone laughed at Jim the Fool
He cried and cried to no avail
So Jim began to scream and wail
He yelled out, "I want a friend!
Either that or I want an end."
So Jim went home and took a knife
Then proceeded to end his life
His mom broke down when she saw her kid
She couldn't believe what her son did
She was so disturbed she took out a gun
And decided that she too was done
The dad saw them and couldn't think
So he walked to the bar and grabbed a drink
He consumed so much that he passed out
Everyone knew it was from his drinking bout
He looked for help from a higher faith
So he went to church where he felt safe.
He felt like God could not hear
For Christ took all that he held dear
He had some pills to help him cope
But he took them all at loss of hope.
Jim then awoke from his bad dream
So realistic, it had seemed.
He woke up in the middle of class
And Jim blushed incredibly fast
Because while he slept, Jim had drooled
Everyone laughed at Jim the Fool.
He cried and cried to no avail
So Jim began to scream and wail
He yelled out, "I want a friend!
Either that or I want an end."
So Jim went home to end his life
But then, he stopped, set down the knife
He realized that his life meant more
Than just the boy who drooled and snored.
His mom walked in to see Jim's tears
She had realized her greatest fears
She could read right through all Jim's lies
She saw the truth behind Jim's eyes.
It wasn't the laughing that started it all
It just was the thing to make Jim fall
His parents sought out help for their son
Because their problems were far from done.
This is probably the only poem I will ever post. My sister (dedication is to her) and I wrote the rough draft of this during a long car ride. I hope you guys enjoyed it.
