Jailed In His Own Skin

In the shade of his smile,

Echoes much depletedness.


In the depths of his eyes,

Is a spectacle of inanition,


In the chaos of his heart,

Lays one true thing, a lie...

 

His cocoon of titanium,

A grim cage of no opportunity.

 

Boundaries set,

Letting nobody in.

 

His deserted being,

Hidden in the shadows.

 

Reflecting a destroyed boy,  
 A hollow shell of who he once was.
