There was once a boy
who had everything.
He had looks
that others
could only dream of
He had a
bright smile that
lit up the dimmest of parties
He had skill
and athleticism that
called the attention of many
He had various talents
that would put
so-called prodigies to shame
He was also a boy
who knew everything.
He knew how
others' faces would
scrunch up in jealousy
He knew how
others would fake a smile
then gossip behind him
He knew how
everyone was watching
his every move
He knew how
everyone was waiting
for him to make a mistake
And he knew firsthand how
expectations could kill
a person
He knew it...
Without anybody else's help.
He died of suffocation
on the noose, after all.
