Fat Cunt

All the kids at school called him a fat cunt
He was a fat cunt with no friends
Who walked around the school football field at
lunchtime because he had no one to talk to
Nothing to do

He used to walk home alone and when it rained he
used to allow himself to cry
His mum and dad never would have guessed
At home he was such a polite boy
He stopped eating for awhile to try and get thin
Eating away at himself instead
So he could fit in
He wanted to fit in and be part of the crowd
He wanted to merge into the crowd and disappear

He used to dream of walking into the school hall all
guns blazing
Bullets flying and the kids who spat in his hair
screaming in pain for a change
He understood those two kids in America who simply
had enough and who had no one too
He used to think of knifing himself in the heart or
blowing his mind away with shotgun pellets
Just to drown out all of the names they called him

He took comfort in the fact that
If things ever got too bad
He could
End
It
All

Which he did on one Sunday morning

It took six police officers to pick the jigsaw puzzle
pieces of his life from the train tracks
