Day In and Day Out

Day in and day out, the life of a teenager.
A life that can be cut short, a life that can continue.
One person just striving to be themselves,
To show the world who they really are.

Day in and day out, mixed in with drama.
Something uneasily avoided,
a problem not yet solved.
A group of people to ridicule and harass,
Many take this chance.

A life that can be cut short, a life that can continue.
The life of a teenager,
bullied, harassed, beaten.
One pull of the trigger,
Problem solved.

One person just striving to be themselves,
To show the world who they really are.
Out to make a difference, to make a change.
But only in death, can the change be made.

Only after death, do people see,
through the blinds and between the lines.
Teenagers are ruthless and evil, warped minds.
Day in and Day out,
the life of a teenager.


The author's comments:
My best friend who was like an older brother to me recently passed away from suicide; after his death I started thinking about how it's so easy to have someone one day and lose them the next. I wrote this poem for him and every other person who has been bullied so bad to the point where they thought death was the only answer
