A Day In the Life
A Day In The life
A day in the life of a shattered boy,
Who grew beyond the use of toys.
Growing legs and a growing mind,
Grew beyond his wanted time.
A frighten child, a timid lad,
Who gave life all he had.
But a secret he would never tell,
Kept him in a solitude cell.
Haunted by touch, afraid to feel,
For the nightmare were all too real.
At sixteen he tried to run,
From jokesters having fun.
Reliving days he rather forget,
Kept his fuse constantly lit.
At twenty-two he took his life,
To be rid of the raging strife.
In a graveyard, three rows deep,
A victim was laid to sleep.
A frighten child, a timid lad,
Who gave life all he had.
Now his candle no longer burns
For life gave little in return,
