Not Entirely Gone
He was always the kid who wasn't in any school photos.
He sat in the corner of the room,
with his dark hair,
dark,
quiet personality.
Not a single trace,
of a smile crossed his face.
Nobody paid any attention.
At first,
he was just that weird,
psycho looking,
lonely guy.
The kids at school called him
freak.
One day,
he was gone.
Dead.
From the car accident,
that maybe didn't
"accidentally"
happen.
The old pick-up truck flipped over,
leaving him nothing but
stranded
Underneath the burning truck.
Some witnesses say,
he never ever tried to get out
He let himself die.
No sound was heard,
except for the crackling of the flames.
Others say he WANTED to die,
he MEANT for this to happen.
Nobody really noticed.
Nobody even cared.
Nobody cried.
It wasn't even recognized in school.
It was like he wasn't even alive.
One day you're there,
and the next you could be
totally
gone...
but not
Entirely.
