Terry And Bobby

He was right at home with 'being himself', And had 'never a longing' to be anyone else. To others, it was as if he was in a jail cell, But from his perspective, all was well. It seemed, in a cave, forever he would stay, And there was little he ever wanted to say. For sure, he was shy, preferring to be alone, And in a cocoon is where he felt right at home. In time, nature forced his exit from the shell, And he was then compelled to show and tell. A boy named Bobby came along, and Terry changed. Bobby didn't see Terry as someone acting strange. Before Bobby, everyone simply stood and stared. Terry was 14 when Bobby expressed that he cared. Fortunately, Bobby and Terry became the best of friends. Friendship was the key that unlocked Terry way back then.
