Unleash Your Mind
A cage that houses the great unknown, filled with such vivid creations
He longs for someone to see beyond the veil and unveil his hidden machinations
This is no simple reconstruction, no metaphor or allegory
This is simply a boy. This is simply his story
He exists in a world he can't explain
He smiles and laughs along
But he hides his true pain
He feels alone and ignored, cheated and distraught
He occasionally speaks out, but not a lot
The venomous curse of "what ifs" bind his actions to one place
You realize he is suffering a great deal
But not by his face
This lone wanderer keeps moving forward, never looking back
He dare not glance at the joys he'll never have or the companion he lacks
But there are days devoid of the dark storm
He recalls dancing under the moonlight with his maiden
Her face filled with joy, their hands intertwined, so warm
Eyes brimming with beauty untold, two pools of sapphire
Their reflection filled with warmth and love
He waltzes, gazing into the fire
There are nights where he'll sit alone in the dark
Remembering that endless dance
And the girl that held his heart
