ABOUT A BOY
by Leon W.

He looks back on his years
The pain and the joy
In the lifelong journey
Of a complex boy

He wanted acceptance
Just to fit in
Longed for a friend
Through thick and thin

Instead he had faced
The sting of rejection
The heartbreak, the anger,
The cold depression

He'd felt as if
No one had wanted
His friendship at all, but
He stayed undaunted

He turned inside out
And found in his mind
A place he could stay
And happiness find

He kept to him self
On a regular basis 
For years he remained
In his own oasis

For once in his life
He was not alone
For he had true friends
He called his own...
