I am o longer an innocent,
Strong spirited
Boy,
As I was.
Now I?m kept, protected from all.
I am a broken spirited hollow man,
Suffering in silence.
There is now smoke in my gaze,
Instead of fire in my stare.
I speak not with those who I associate with.
I reach out to none.
I stay only with those who I am known too.
I take chances no more.
My stare has grown frozen as winter?s nights.
