Oblivious To a Hero
He sits in a corner
Motionless and still
Hiding from an enemy
Refusing to kill
Beaten and battered
Alone in this game
Afraid to show himself
For reasons like shame
Golden hair fibers
Resting on top
Oblivious to life
The voices won't stop
They walk and they run
They pay him no mind
While fighting off demons
That have plagued his mind
Torn are his clothes
Rotten are his teeth
Ribs for a stomach
Legs without meat
They mock
They make fun of
Not knowing his strength
If they knew what they tell him
They'd not call him weak
In an attempt to save others
He takes his own life
He stood there in silence
Not one stopped
Not one cried.
R.K.H.
