He was an ordinary guy like me or you
But the abuse he didn’t know what to do
Grew up hating the world and himself
He killed people big and small
Couldn’t help what he did to them all
He put the bodies up against the wall
Made a dummy of them all
Did the same things his dad did to him
Griping them like the slam dunk off a basketball rim
Hitting them so hard core
But then he didn’t want to do it anymore
He grabbed the knife off the top shelf
And ended up killing himself
