Everybody thought he was normal
A beautiful baby boy
All of a sudden
First day of middle school, only eleven
Sparkly eyed
Red chubby cheeks
This little child had his goals
Aspirations, and dreams
Then next thing you know
He’s all grown up
Quarterback on the football team
A straight A student,
And he’s headed for an ivy league
Everybody thought he was normal
‘Til the day he jumped off the balcony
