The boy starts singing a prayer song as he paddles the canoe into open water.
Scared. Sad. Lonely.
Casted into life, I had struggles before I knew what they were.
The childhood robbed of young glee and joyful play.
Learn hardships, to become without emotions and only hang onto the fueling anger.
Silent. Strong. Brave.
The boy paddles into a storm. A raging monster of the sea.
Lost. Broken. Hurting.
A young man returns home. Singing a song of seeking forgiveness.
Asking permission to come shore.
Accepted. Welcomed. Forgiven.
The boy is seen within the young man's face.
Restless spirit. The heart is in another land. The spirit lingers at home.
The mind is an emotional scarred atlas of memoirs.
Struggles. Rejected. Denial.
The young man leaves again, but this time he leaves on land.
Into another storm. This storm is of raging demons from addictions.
Scarring the spirit with emotional memoirs.
Some life has returned to his eyes.
Fragmented. Scarred. Angry.
