Take One for A Thousand

A lonely kid sat in their room alone.
Staring at the blue wall that stood before him.
'Blue is such a boring color. I see it every day,
when i look out my bedroom window.'
Suddenly, there was a repetitive knock on his bedroom door.
He refused to answer it, and left the lock locked on his door.
Soon the knocking died away, and footsteps disappeared down the hall.

He lay down on bis back and stared at the black,ashy roof.
'Black resembles darkness and shadow. is that what life is supposed to be?Darkness and shadow?'
In his head, he knew it wasn't supposed to be, but still he believed that it was.

the next morning he walked to school, regretting
each step he was taking further to school.
When he got there, the boys that hung out at the gate were going to tease him;and call him names.
After that was over, he would walk through the corridor and
more boys and girls would torment him and make fun of him.

The thought of this made him shudder. it happens every day, he should be used to it?Shouldn't he?
As he was in view of the school, he stopped in front of a tree, and stared at it long and hard.
He thought about what would happen if his life didn't exist. It would make life easier for his tormentors, wouldn't it?
he closed his eyes and dreamed a better life.

'To my 'friends'who tormented me and made fun of me,
to my parents who showed no notice,
to the teachers who didn't do anything,
to the world who turned their backs on me:

Please don't put people through what you did to me;
it's not funny
it comes to this, and now I have
come to think that by taking my life it may leave you to get on with yours and understand reality.

World, please don't let others end their lives now that I have ended mine.

Goodbye,
and minus one

He dropped his letter by the tree and walked himself to the national park, where the great cliffs stood.

"I love you world" He said, before he leapt for his future.
