The dark forest chills to the bone.
As the boy finds himself cold, and alone.
And though he hasn’t spoken for years,
He has never been the outcast of his peers.
And though he sits alone in this Earth
He still strains to become of some worth.
He is not a sad child.
Though he can be seen as mild.
But when the door opens,
The faucet leaks.
And out pours the years he spent alone.
And all secrets, become known.
This one soul becomes important to the boy.
Who is dying to be seen as more than a mere toy.
In his own mind, he sits atop a throne.
A place to forget the area around him.
And through the silence,
The boy contemplates defiance.
Because the door has yet to be opened,
And the faucet, has yet to pour.
