This poem is based on a character from my story "The Girl They Never Noticed"

He was always the new kid, always moving around
He stayed at the back of the class, never making a sound
He has 2 older brothers, and an older sister as well
He's basically the spoiled one, in case you couldn't tell

At home his daddy got him everything he asked for
But at school, well, he had to work a little more
People were meaner , they never let him in
To the point where he thought that speaking up was a sin

He was always alone, he was always left out
They were always laughing, but he didn't know what about
Until one day he discovered that he was the subject of their joke
He started crying, just a kid, but his heart really broke

All through elementary, he always felt like the outcast
The reputation of this loner, spread far and too fast
The story of the kid who had no one to call a friend
They thought these rumours were the beginning of his end

When high school rolled around, appeared a new Jace
Not the needy clingy boy, who would sulk around the place
This new boy, was cruel, vicious, and mean
He was the worst they've ever seen

Not a day goes by, that someone doesn't fall prey
Stay away from him' he'll hurt you, they say
At first it started normal, like any amateur
Then he got worse and better in a blur

Then one day, it was announced that a new student came
If he made her a friend, nothing would be the same
He would quit all the pranks and be a normal boy
He'd stop playing with people as if they're his toy

But the new girl made friends, and shattered his hopes
Took his dreams and hung them by several different ropes
He didn't know what to think; didn't know what to do
But ever since that day, she'll be his victim too!

Despite all the pranks, he was still empty inside
His smile was a façade of the loneliness he tried to hide
He tried to quit the pranks and be normal again
He might actually have friends; but ONLY THEN

When a prank gone wrong sent the new girl away
He was scared and terrified and didn't know what to say
He promised himself that the day she's back to school
Would be the day he cut it out; being a dang fool

When she showed up one day, looking beautiful as ever
He decided this is it, it's now or never
He was going to be good, he would try to win a friend
And that was the day all his pranks came to an end

Not only did he gain a friend, but a whole group too!
He was ecstatic; it was too good to be true!
He was finally home; the place where he'll belong
It was as if life is finally playing his song!

He went about his days with a polite, genuine smile
Not the fake ones that lasted a short while
He looked around and in his mind he thought
He was no longer the boy that time forgot
