A Boy

You are shining, with the darkest mind

You are smiling, with the wounded mind

You are alive, with the bloody mind

Why don't you cry?

Why don't you show your shadow?

Is it pressure?

Is it fear?

The road is too steep to keep walking

Nobody can walk

But you do, without help

You are too strong to say “Help me”

You are too weak to say “Help me”

Why don't you shout?

Why don't you wrap yourself?

Is it sadness?

Is it despair?

I hear your howl

I hear a boy crying

I feel your pain

I feel a boy wailing

You are shining, with the darkest mind

You are smiling, with the wounded mind

You are alive, with the bloody mind
