The Boy

The little boy

Is not bright.

But wishes to fly away one day.

In his mind

There is no escape.

Those memories and nightmares

Have trapped him.

Hold him hostage.

No one is to save him.

For this boy

Will drown in his imagination.

No one is to save him.

There is no escape.

He cannot run or hide.

But one day,

He wishes to escape and fly away.

Why don't you save him....
You're there.

Wow, this was really good. I liked the way it flowed. And I could feel the inner struggle the boy was feeling because sometimes I feel trapped. You did very good.

I like the message here. Somehow I feel I will always be a child at heart, and the thought of all of reality's obstacles that hit me, takes away from the imagination, and sometimes the inspiration to write wonderful pieces like this. (:

I like the sucinct nature of this poem. Melancholic and yet hopeful with his desire to fly away. Thanks for sharing. Keep on writing!
