A Young Boy

A young boy that feels alone..

I see a young boy

Sitting alone on a chair

Crying and yelling

Swallowed in darkness...

The darkness comes to get him

The judges hurt him

One word can make a world fall

I see the souls in the aiport

Taking airplanes

To unknown destinations

The lonely child cries

one word can make a world fall

You walk around the house

The ghost are ready to strike you down

Their laughs go to the core of your soul

Causing it to fall down

Alone and quiet the lonely child is

If only they knew how much he suffered about life

I see many people falling down

Some get up and some give up

I'm still walking, Who knows where But I'm still walking

But the cries of the lonely child

The cries of my past can't let go of me

Author's Note

Probably my worst work

Reviews

[Baby Ricochet]

My one critique, rather than my usual flip remarks. Don't critique your own work in the authors note.

[Lizardo]

You are right…

[jacob erin-cilberto]

you might work on it some...but i see a theme here dealing with a child who is caught in the middle when his parents divorce....and his world is overturned...and he can't let go of his old world...

[Lizardo]

Thank you so much Jacob, although I though about a boy suffering from life

[jacob erin-cilberto]

and that is a form of suffering...living in a broken home....strong feelings from this one.

I understand the sadness. It's not your worst work, just not your best...
I still loved it though:)

[Lizardo]

Ur welcome!!

[Jimmy Yetts]

A sad, but not uncommon, tale. We will always carry all the people we ever were with us. But, eventually, their emotional impact tends to soften,
Your poem has its own impact, Lizardo.
