Like A Mountain
Still standing strong
Just eight years old
He convinces himself
Each push is uncontrolled
Like a mountain
The boy is forced to stand tall
For when it starts
No one can stop it at all
An avalanche so powerful
Yet the boy is still holding on
How much can he sustain?
Who can he depend upon?
So quiet and abstruse
His teachers avoid the question
Eventually they'll regret it
They could have offered some direction
The boy doesn't comprehend
Every day is a close call
Does he know to find help?
Every day he's expected to fall
The teachers attend the funeral
Along with his classmates, blind
All wondering 'what if?'
As if they were one in the mind
One boys live observed by millions
On the television screen
Next time the teachers wonder
Maybe they will do something
i meant *life instead of live
