A Funny Story

...

What did he do to himself?

…

How could he clean himself up?

Craig Gilner….

He checked himself in…

…

Is that where he’s been?

Stuck in a hospital bed,

Thinking ‘bout all his regrets

He still likes to talk but

his friendships are a mess

He’s underage in the place

Not sure he can keep the pace

A lot of stuff happening

That he’s too scared to face

He’s got nowhere to go

And he feels all alone

He’s been stuck for so long and  

Now he wants to go home

The highschool put pressure

But he is missing a message

His mind is still messy

He could not understand it

Now we’re changing perspective

Going from Gilner to Nia

If you had told me this story

I bet I wouldn’t believe ya!

Feeling ashamed,

Nia can’t even explain

she made out with him once

But the love didn’t remain  

But before she disappeared,

Craig had argued with Aaron.

They did both like Nia

Aaron caught Gilner staring

Craig met one named Noelle

first it was hard to tell

If she had liked him or hated him

He thought she still compelled

It all started with a note

That Craig had saw with no hope

It said “meet me at 7”

He was wondering who wrote

They met in the evening

In a particular place

The girl was checked in for the

Scratches on her face.

They didn’t know each other

So they played 20 questions.

They answered truthfully so

There was really no guessing.

It would’ve been easy to tell

That they have gotten along well

But when Craig asked to kiss

She just said “no”.....

He said “I’m not good at crap.”

He gets signed up for a class.

She said “draw something you love”

He drew what’s called a “brain map”  

See these highways and byways?

And all those buildings and streets?

Emphasis on the ‘BRAIN’

that’s his personality!

Craig got out in two weeks

After starting to handle it.

He still talks to Noelle

And he’s no longer damaged.

….

Life is not cured, life is managed!
