a boy [a story]

By pessum ire animus

run, run away young man
leave all your troubles behind
forget your family, forget your friends
it doesnt matter, its all to end.

drift, drift away pained soul
from the pleasures of this suffering
youve nothing left to live for
no reasons yet to die

school drags on, you despise going
a school of outcast, still on your own
disturbed presence, uncontrollable emotions
filled with hate, with only passion.

a destroyed childhood
your father, a disgrace
a torn home leaves scars
upon your heart of stone.

escaping... from what?
misleading information
you dont know why
you dont know how
all you know
is to jump
to shoot
to cut
to haze...
to die.

you are i... i am you...
what happens to me...
will happen to you...
what has happened to you...
instilled in my soul...

I must say that this is a very thrilling piece which drags you down the verse. It is so simple yet hints at the true struggle which breathes right below the depths. A struggle which feels as if it reaches out from the page.

"misleading information "..life's dosages of this 411 is far too high to stomach without poisoning..I loved this piece because it rode a different edge than most poems i've read as of late....it has a feeling of an insigificant limbo, yet a profound glory
