I had a search referral from someone searching on Google for “he always wanted to say things, but no one listened.”

It’s the dog-gone poem again!

So I searched for it myself and it turns out this poem is an urban legend of sorts. There is no real story behind it! Everyone has a different version of who wrote it and where it was written and when it was written. Most of them revolve around a high schooler who commited suicide afterwords. But one page I came across had listed all the theories on it.
