A Boy
March 9, 2014
He was crippled
but only on the inside
in a place where no one can see
“...broken beyond repair”
they liked to tell him
yet he didn't take any pills
no drugs, excessive sex, or alcohol
“..he's a good kid”
they said that too
but only on the inside
in a place no one can see
He was crippled
“...broken beyond repair”
