This kid I didn't know

This kid was awkward...gawky.
Pale and blonde..his blue veins could be seen in the bags under his eyelids.
He always looked tired.
A handsome face.
I'm lying to you..this kid had no alibi.
A face that surely won him no friends.
Big front teeth..big ears..the works.
Occasionally I'd see him crack a child like smile...just listening to other kids conversations.
I wondered what the thoughts were in his head,what beauty had touched him.
How could this unfortunate young man draw such pleasure,from the same people that ignored him when they where bored with him?
He was brutalized in a fashion that can only be described as a rape of some kind.
Every damn day.
The older miscreants beat him mercilessly...he screeched as they chased him down and pinned him.
He had an intimate knowledge of some of these sociopaths...he knew what their spit tasted like at the very least.
Some of the girls liked to laugh at him...I mean,why not just completely dehumanize this kid..you are all so much better than him,people.
A living Hell.
I hope the kid eventually caught a break...I just couldn't watch anymore.
Funny the things we choose to ignore.
After some time..this kid didn't exist to me.
Years later he would take a rifle and murder his grandparents...I can't even imagine what prison life has been like for this kid...if he still lives and breathes...I wish I had helped this kid, whose name I can't even remember.
