A Human Mystery

by Jennifer RIP Lesthat Hayden   Apr 10, 2006


With all the sadness in his eyes
They can't see what is inside
He bocks people out
And keeps emotions in
You don't know whether to leave
Him alone or try to be his friend
But in the end just leave him there
He doesn't want you to care
Just leave him alone
Even if he cries
If you ask him why
He'll just give you lies
He doesn't want you in
He just wants you out
He doesn't want you to know
What he's all about
So let him soak
So let him pout
Just please leave him be
He won't talk to you
He won't talk to me
He won't give you a look
Or need anybody
He's alright on his own
He doesn't want help
Just leave him alone let him be
By himself
You can't tell who he is
You can't tell what he needs
You don't know if cares if he bleeds
Does he beg on his knees for
Guidance or to die
Is he talking to you when he asks
Why
Is he talking to you
Is he talking to me
To an invisible friend
Imaginary
Does he care if we wonder
Does he care if we stare
Why does he stop blinking and
Stare at no where
He looks at the ground
He stares at his feet
Has he ever been out in the sun
Such a pale piece of meat
Should you go up and hug him
Should you leave him alone
Do you think he's in pain
When he starts to groan
He moans about something
His mumbling unclear
You don't know if he said
"Leave me."
Or if he said "Come here."
Whatever the matter
Let's leave him alone
He's in his own little world
He wants to be alone
Is he trying to say something
Is he trying to say "No."
Or maybe that's his way of
Mumbling "Go."
We'll stand here for hours
And worry all day
We may never know
If he's mentally OK
Stable or not
Crying for help or for us to go
Exactly what his problem his
We'll probably never know
So let's check on him later
He should still be undead
With that final comment
I think enough has been said
