There once was a boy
He smiled wide and never cried
His laugh lit the world, but
His love scared it

There once was a boy
Who was forced to hide
Drowning in other’s lies
Piled with hate, the boy began to deflate

There once was a boy
Who along his journey
Lost who he’d become
He transformed into a shadow

There once was a boy
He used to smile wide and laugh loud
He was silenced by their fears
And his smile never returned

There once was a boy
Who became a ghost in his own body
Surrounded by hate
He decided then to destroy his fate

There once was a boy
Who let them get the best of him
He looked over the edge and decided to fly
Too bad no one had ever taught him how.
