this a poem aimed at pointing out the outcomes of bullying

The story of Paul

 

Let me introduce you to Paul

A 15 year old boy

With a physique that’s rather small

Not a day in school

He wasn’t picked on by Stan

He wore pain like a uniform

For it was his everyday

His norm

 

He divulged this to the teachers

But they thought it as “noise”

As Paul suffered

They said “boys will be boys”

The scars led Paul to severe dis-consolation

As they were a map to his ultimate destination

 

At home Paul subjugated himself in his room  

“This is teenage rebellion”

His parents would assume

But little did they know

Paul was fabricating a plan

For if he was to take his last breath

So would Stan

 

He went up to the attic

To procure his dad’s old gun

Then off to school on his journey

He began

Tears dropped from his eyes

As he shot Stan

Then turned the gun at himself

Paul went out with a bang

This was incredibly powerful. The writing was very beautiful, the only thing I would say is make make sure the poem flows better. In a few places it seemed choppy. But I really loved this work, very nicely done!
