Trapped

The boy looked around

Where was he to go?
He was sad,
Others were happy.

What was he to do?
He stood around,
Others walked around him.

What was he to think?
He did not know, but he thought,
Others knew what to think.

Where would he lay his head?
He used his pillow,
Others used their lovers.

Who was he to dance with?
He would dance alone,
Others would would dance with their dates.

Who would he see movies with?
He would see movies alone,
Others went with dates.

Who would he lay with?
He would lay alone, dreaming,
Others would lay around and roll about.

Who was he to date?
He was unsure,
Others had already decided.

Looking around the boy noticed a window.
So he walked up to it, and peered outside.
The window was foggy, but he saw someone out there,
who? he did not know, but he wanted to.
Locked in, he was determined to get out, so he kicked the door.
It fell, and he stood for a moment peering outside.
Then he ran.
