There is a Darkness out There
He was just a boy, living his life each day
Growing into his young years, displayed
Day to day life encouraging young thrall
Doing as he should, with friends, football
Then life takes a turn, changes, changes
Disjointed norms twisted, askew thrown
Stiffling a mind when should be growing
Turmoil now leads, his life in rearrange
From pillar to post cast, cast out to there
Just another statistic, another numerically
Discussions, discussions, lets put him there
When, quite frankly, they didn't really care
Inside from his outside, they couldn't see
Turmoil now leads, his life in rearrange
Young, so young, that even he can't be
Being pillar to post cast, innocently he
Days, weeks, months, years, decades
Through his eyes others have never seen
He was just a boy, living his life each day
But to another, he was just anothers keen!
