Jimmy Johnson

by Mike Fontanini
Whenever Jimmy Johnson aced a quiz,
His classmates thought he was very smart.
He was kind, but known as a whiz instead.
They thought he had it all from the start.

And he was always quiet,
But they couldn't see that in him things had gone awry.
Still, they wanted to be like him.
They thought of Jim very high.

They said he had all a teen could want,
Some thought him the smartest kid in class.
His friends knew how kind he was,
They always said "Hi!" when they saw him pass.

Still, they all wanted to be like Jim.
They couldn't see his thoughts of running away and suicide so dim,
All he wanted now in life was just a friend, apparently too much to ask for.
The only one who didn't want to be like him, was Jim.
