Eddie

Sometimes we forget what would happen if we were in others' shoes
And make a kid go through as much pain as their mothers' do
When those who struggle have the chance to live a normal life
Why do we decide that its not allowed and make that child grieve in strife

Let me inform you, Eddie was normal, from what your eyes could see
But most people let their eyes decieve, and judge by what lies beneath
Most kids in school came strapped with knives, others high, damn trippy
Eddie came in to school strapped with a chest plate and an IQ of 60

He was teased, mocked, hurt and laughed but never went off the deep end
He was older than all the rest, and knew his emotions and where to keep them
"BIG PARTY TONIGHT", "can I go mom, can I go please?"
Yes Eddie dear, inside she worried for him, but showed she was pleased

He arrived there early, this was his chance, he patted his plate
His chance to make some real friends, possibly come out with a date
He heard his name, whirled around, 5 boys stepped up beside
"Yo Eddie, come here man" He knew there was trouble, and ran up inside

They gave chase, dragged him to the bathroom, and brutally assaulted Ed
You wont believe what they said, "He didnt belong here, he was a SPED"
The ambulance took him away, holding on to life, but crying loud
They beat him up, but also took his pride, thats it! He let himself slip into shroud...



this is a true story about a kid from my school, his real name was Emanuel, just thought I'd give a heads up that this shit does happen and its fuckin wrong
