Broken Boy
He was never
really popular.
Never did
fit with the crowd.
This boy would
lie to himself
til the people's voices
would dissolve
into
nothing.
But as soon as
he did,
one voice
would stand above the
restand
knock him back down.
And that voice was you!
Even when he
was a kid
you never let
him feel
like he
was a star
What did you
even have against
him?
Because of you
he couldn't
crack a smile
at the
world.
You broke
his soul into
infinity,
never to pick up
the pieces.
As he got older
you just got
rougher.
Mom and Dad
were never there
but you wouldn't know
cause you never
cared.
He had a talent.
you never saw it.
When he finally
let you see it
thinkin' it
would turn things
around,
you tore him down.
Eventhough
his talent was
just amazing..
His talent was
amazing, but you didn't
want him to know
so you took him down.
Made him feel
like he had nothin'.
What did you have
against this boy?
He could sing
like an angel.
His smile could make
your day light up.
You just wanted
yourself to feel
better by tearing
him down, but you don't know
what this boy goes
through once his eyes open up.
OH! Those eyes
can go right through you!
Bet you didnt realize
it just made worst.
You just don't know
what that boy does
yo fake a smile...
Did you ever stop to
think what he does when
he gets home; after you had
your turn to make
him nothing?
He comes home to
a drunkin' father
abusive mother
takin' turns
wackin' him around.
It's amazin'
wonderin' how he
hasn't givin' up.
Gets picked on at
school.
Abused at home.
Hised the marks
so no one
questions.
"Maybe if I had showed them my talent, they'd leave me alone. I shouldve known it wouldn't change anything... I just can't wait to leave this place..."
How could you have
not seen the pain behind
those green eyes.
That bright smile.
wonderful voice.
It's too late to
changes what's in
stone.
You can apologize
all you want!
But you wont be able to fix him.
He's already changed...
behind that fake smile...
he shows you...
This boy would lie
to himself 'til
the people's voices
dissolved into nothing
But as soon as he did
one would stand above the
rest and knock him
back down.
As he got older
you got rougher.
Mom and Dad
never there
but you wouldn't know
cause you never
cared.
Because of you
he couldn't crack a smile
at the world.
You brokehis soul into
infinity
never to
pick up the pieces...
