they called him the golden boy; he had an eye for shiny toys. made of his fathers heart; always at odds with his mothers skin. tolerable in sight but crooked within. inspired by a churchhill quote mixed with his love for informal doubts. reality spoke to him in spades about not knowing how to end. the problem is he knows how to begin.
he’s mostly scared that he’ll become one of them. a bleeding heart with a left swing. he’s just a kid that hates to fit in.
“i’ve got a brain full of hecklers and thoughts that don’t buy i word is say,” still he contrived enough angst to make some people change their hearts, their minds, everything he prayed.
he’s not beautiful but he’s got a watch his father gave him as a present when he was ten. yeah, i’d say that’s a good age to value time and priceless things. let’s embrace him until he tears us apart with wisdom and fears he keeps. he’s done with the waiting room, the politics, and the alienation innate. he may not be welcome but he’ll always wonder if they let the right ones in…
