"Ballad of the Little Boy's Pain"
His eyes are unbelievably pure
His essence as though scarred by experience, is the perfect mix of uncertain and sure.
His body, not perfect, but simply defined.
Who he represents is on the mountains of legends whose souls swim across the night sky
The values he has cannot be learned, but placed beneath the heart introduced to the world at birth
He's stubborn and at times afraid to love
A man, but unique and different from the rest.
He searches for himself in darkness at times, but the light of love holds his hands
He wants
He needs
He believes in his dreams, his goals, and his family
He trusts
He lusts
and at times his mistakes
fuels his fear of success
his journey, though difficult, is the necessity of learning
bruising him
pushing his limits
become his sword of
protection from the rejections and potholes of life
He wants to love
He wants to forgive
But experience shackles his optimism, carrying him farther away, plauging his dreams and at times giving him tears
That young boy, misses his mother, but loves her unconditionally
Searching for her acceptance
Trusts his dad and holds his hands
His dreams will come true
Your mother, little boy will forgive you
time, though long and uncertain, does heal wounds
He looks at life
though bleak at times
dims his pain
glimmers of hope and redemption guide his
ability to forgive
at the end of the day, he'll be okay
Be still, little boy, life isn't done with you.
O_O Whoa!
I wasn't sure exactly what I was expecting when I clicked on this, but wow, my mind has been blown. This is magnificent! The wording is so beautiful, thorough, and projects such vivid imagery. This is a wonderful poem, a treasure honestly. I love the emotion in it as well. The title is great and the opening lines really brought me in. I was completely engaged the entire time. I know I shall come back and read this over and over again. I can't wait to see what you post next!!!
