Pretty Boy

'Pretty boy,' they'd called him his skin so delicate, fair Eyelashes long, yet bold his truth hidden, ever untold The catcalls and whistles they found their mark One weekend his life he took another black mark in humanity's book

You can't judge a book by its cover. The inner emotions people have are not shown in their good looks... Thanks for sharing Gershon...

It is said names will never hurt you, they may not hurt you physically but they hurt you in your heart and mind.
