In our halls, where dreams should fly, We watched a lone boy, with a silent cry. Jokes cut deep, laughter turned sharp, His light dimmed, swallowed by the dark.

Tears fell unseen, in the bustling crowd, His pleas for help, silent but loud. One day he vanished, didn't return, Leaving behind lessons we had to learn.

Now his seat's empty, his voice a ghost, A reminder of the cost, of the friend we lost. We never spoke up, our silence a chain, In his darkest hour, we left him in pain.

Where he walks now, none can say, We lost a soul, in daylight's fray. Let's break the silence, let kindness shine, So no other echoes fade, in the halls of time.
