A boy so pure of heart

One ponders what is beyond the haze,

That clutters up my mind,

What is it that causes the delays,

Which make me so confined?

I close my eyes and hope for the day,

That maybe I'll break free,

Seek out those leading me astray,

Soon they'll finally see.

My many worries and doubts come back,

Oh, I'm such a burden,

I wonder who would care if I cracked?

Not many, I'm certain.

Then came someone, confident and smart,

He sees me in the dark,

Who knew there would be one so pure of heart,

That would leave such a mark.

Who knew of a boy so sweet and kind,

Whom restored once lost hope,

Saying he would leave no man behind,

As he threw me a rope.

Where would I be today, without him?

He saved me from my mind,

I'm sure my life would have been very grim,

If I was left behind.
