A Boy

A boy holds a soft heart

Engulfed in a hard shell.

He smiles even if he's being ripped;

even if his heart is unwell.

You will never see him cry

but know that he's very weak.

He's ego is just a facade

behind which lies a worried child meek.

Oh, his ego is everything to him.

And thus he acts carefree.

But he is super possessive;

in seconds, high on a burning spree.

He will show loadsa attitude

but inside he's inferior.

He has doubts about himself

hidden in that coarse exterior.

All he needs is for some support,

For someone to share.

He's the guy we know to be harsh;

in reality the eden of care.
