Non Sequitar

Does it matter who I am? I am one of the faceless. One of the unknown. YOU pushed me to the top of the building,      and placed me away -       far away from the city. I could even be your friend,      or neighbour. I have no say, No voice, I don't matter. That is why you seemed surprised      when you saw my name in the paper. Friends, teachers, and neighbours interviewed. "HE WAS SUCH A QUIET BOY. HE KEPT TO HIMSELF." "PARENTS BLUDGEONED TO DEATH BY SON,"      The headlines screamed.

Additional Notes:
C'mon now! Don't even think this is about myself! I am in the field of psychiatry, and am NEVER surprised when I read such headlines. Don't think this is poetry? Well, tell me exactly - what is poetry? In case some of you make light of my spelling. It is British/Canadian spelling. Okay?!
