The Boy who Traveled Half-way Around the World

The Boy who Traveled Half-way Around the World

A Poem by Memory'sEdge
"

just another memory... of me, or someone I know, you'll never find out unless you know me... but for now... It's just a story.... about a Boy

"

Lemme share a

story about a boy

who traveled across the world

on a quest to find...

he sat alone

in his dark house

peering out the window

to the people outside

he wanted to be

with those outside

but everytime he tried

he was shoved back inside

he then realized

the only way to leave

the dark confies of his lonely home

was to wrap himself in lies

Become someone he's not...

Wrapped in a cloak

and bearing a mask

he stepped outside

and began to look

he searched the world

for a place he belonged...

loving and overflowing smiles...

and finally someone to love...

the first world he

had stumbled upon

was one of extreme wonder

and one of ever-expanding warmth

the people there

took him in and seemed to care

they had the brightest faces

with different laughs and races

a place he belonged...

the next place he

found was filled with many

diciples to an ancient skill

one that bore, endless smiles

little did he

actually know

that the art he practiced

would change him forever

it grabbed a hold

upon his heart

and changed it and twisted it

but people started smiling...

overflowing smiles...

the final world

he had traveled to

was half-way around the world

still wrapped in his cloak

he had found her

the girl that he loved

she was locked away

tight in her beautiful house

they became close

through the walls and his mask

they shared many laughs...

and many tears...

someone to love...

He stood smiling

at her door, a world wide away

from his own and he beckoned to her

to come out of her house for the final time

but this time she

actually answered his call

she poked her radiant head

and looked at him, her voice stern

"You're not welcome

You should go home

You need to leave

You're not welcome here...

"I don't know you..."

his cloaked ripped up

his mask was shattered

he was being pulled back home

after he had come so far

he reached for her

the one he loved

but she shut her door to him

and locked it up tight...

he was thrown hard

to the floor

of his dark and lonely house

crying and regected

he had a hole

he felt in his chest

he lay there bleeding

after going half-way around the world...

He was still alone...

Like it? i could write more because it does have a happy ending... but thats up to you XD

Author's Note

Memory'sEdge
i tried to use a writing thingy (I dont remember the name... structure?) i call 4x4, it also requires that you sum up the story fast due to its 4 line stanza and 4 sylabul first line writing tends to be long and drawn out and after every point, a one liner is introduced, again sorry if it's bad
