Do not let the things you cannot do interfere with the things that you can do<br /> <br /> No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.

Within a dark room,
There is a boy
The room desolated,
With no one around.
No one notices him.
Not at school,
Not at home.
The feeling of depression seems unbearable.
He feels lost, betrayed,
Hurt and despised.
Not done anything wrong,
Yet people hate him?
Sometimes he cries into the night.
They make fun of him,
Hurt him,
Push him around.
Covering scars with only dark clothing.
Tells himself it’s the only way.
Soon, one night,
The pain was amiss.
Thinking to himself, as he left a note on his nighttime dresser.
Without hesitation and a sad pair of eyes,
Jumped from the balcony with a rope about his neck.
