Here is a story about an artistic emo boy,
a boy who had a great heart.
sure, he dressed mostly in skulls and black,
but he showed his mind and feelings through his art.

All emotions splashed across his canvas,
common of all was purples and blues.
always wearing long sleeves and skinny jeans,
to understand him you'd have to walk in his shoes.

You see, little emo boy was covered in bruises,
which led to those colors and hues.
his parents weren't as loving as they should've been,
so his body colors were purples and blues.

One day his teacher walked up to him,
asking him to change into a short-sleeved art shirt.
the little emo boy lost argument to change nontheless,
and changed shirts, baring all of his hurt.

The teacher was astonished,
words obviously lost to say.
together they went to the headmaster's office,
none of the other teens saw him til' the next day.

What happened might you ask or say,
is the little emo boy's parents had been caught.
his pain and suffering ended that night,
a lesson other teens had been taught.

Speak up for what happens,
if someone abuses or hurts you.
you could have a better chance at life like liitle emo boy,
so you don't get speckled with purple and blue.

Little emo boy was happy indeed,
his loving art teacher adopted him for their sake.
both their artwork improved quite frankly,
she gave him a second chance he could gladly take.

All his emotions splashed across his canvas,
common of all had to be white.
if you ever meet him and ask him why,
he will say "'Cause my life turned out alright."
