Eulogy - Chaotica

He was a boy, 15 years old

Big boned, but his heart was pure gold

He played the tuba in high school

Other kids didn’t think he was cool

He was that kid always picked last

When they chose teams in his gym class

They knocked his books out of his hands

Because he marched in the school band

They poured his drink down his T-shirt

They did not care how much he hurt

They taped a sign on his book bag

That said «Wide load — I’m a huge fag.»

He was just a boy, just 15 years old

He had a big heart that was made of gold

He played the tuba in his high school band

He was the type who always lent a hand

He went down the hall and hid inside

The school bathroom where he sat and cried

Some mean kids came in and pushed him down

On a toilet that was stained with brown

They dunked his head in the toilet bowl

His face was plugging the dirty hole

They grabbed their cell phones and they took pics

When they left they posted them for kicks

Then he stood up on the toilet seat

Took his belt, his pants fell to his feet

Wrapped the belt 'round his neck and the stall

Took one last step so that he would fall…

He was just a boy, just 15 years old

He had a big heart that was made of gold

He played the tuba in his high school band

He was the type who always lent a hand

At his funeral his mother gave him a kiss

She read his eulogy and it went something like this:

He was just a boy, just 15 years old

He had a big heart that was made of gold

He played the tuba in his high school band

He was the type who always lent a hand

When he would come home he would tell me that

Some boys at his school would call him fat

But he prayed to God up until the end

To forgive those boys they were his friends
