taking what life hands him
he keeps it to himself
not showing his lonliness
he puts on a smile
nobody can see the truth
he is hiding inside
trust doesn't come easily
he guards his heart well
alone in this dark world
he yearns for true love
absent in his home life
he turns his back away
leaving a hole inside his heart
he will never be the same
not letting others get close
he pretends not to care
trusting only his Maker
he cries in His arms
the only love he can trust
he has hopes for the future
yet the scars will remain
