~Karl~

Karl was a silent boy.
He never bothered anyone.
He didn’t have a shadow.
It seemed he didn’t exist.
Karl would blink back tears.
He would go home from school
And hide away in his room.
He’d hide from everything.
Karl was a simple boy.
All he asked for was equality.
What a silly thing to want.
This is the 21st century.
Karl wanted to be proud.
He never managed to be.
He was always poked at.
Nobody wanted to be near him.
Karl was a good boy.
He made mommy happy.
He tried to please daddy.
Love doesn’t have to exist.
Karl was a lonely child.
People avoided him.
His parents were there for a while,
Now nobody is by his side.
Karl has no control.
He is worn down from his peers.
His daddy won’t look at him.
There’s nothing left.
Karl can’t breathe anymore.
Karl can’t hear his peers anymore.
Karl lies at peace now from his hand
Because people hate what they don’t understand.
They didn't accept Karl being gay.
