You can't hurt the boy
Who often wished that he was dead,
And he can't calm the thoughts
That stir up sadness in his head.

Haunted by his memories,
His thoughts clouded by sadness,
He's sinking into depression,
Falling into madness.

He needs a change of scenery,
Something has to give,
Before he lets up,
And doesn't want to live.

This town had killed his happiness,
He once seemed to glow.
The pain he hides beneath it all,
No one will ever know.

He wants to change it all,
Find a way to end the pain,
Bring a beam of light and warmth,
And dry up all the rain.

He wants to be away from here,
Not really dead, but gone.
He wants to help the world find joy,
Then maybe, he'll move on.

For now, he's bound to stay in place,
But soon, he will be free.
He'll open up his eyes to find
That he can finally see.
