Author's Note: I watched "Horsemen" the other day and I thought I would write a poem from Alex's perspective of life. I really thought about how lucky I was to have loving parents and how lucky I was to have the life I have. I realized that people go through hurt everyday so I wanted to write a poem to show life through a character's perspective of his mother dying and his father paying no attention to him. This poem is not in my perspective so, relax, I don't feel like that. But I wanted to send out an important message that in the end, everything will be alright, no matter what situation you happen to be in.
I watched her fade and wallow away
I watched her drift and sink
I watched her dive and never return
I watched you leave and never come back
Give me freedom, so you give me hell
You left me alone in a stupid prison cell
The therapist, she what, you think she helped me?
She only provided the space to realize and see
Oh yes, I met some other people
Who had the same problems that I had
Abuse, Bullies and alone in this world
Because they lost their stupid dad
And so, we planned and executed
It worked out well, won't you say
Our revenge was well thought out
I wanted to kill somebody that day
When she left us
The four horsemen, that's what we'd be
Turned out we were all flipping crazy
They hit, they laughed and they ridiculed
So we thought, why not revenge
Yes, I'm crazy and I miss you deeply
I loved the way you tucked me into bed
Well now I know you love me deeply
Because you were there for me, even when I thought it was the end
