You’re this little boy who cried himself to sleep, without an ounce to spare
You’re that boy who smiled, even when no one else cared
You’re the same boy who felt a disgrace in this human race
You’re that little boy who shared emotions upon a strong face
You’re that little boy who swept away the tears of a broken clown
You’re the same boy who switched the expressions of an open frown
Even though this child’s expressions changed as life drove him on
This boy still kept within himself, even though his heart was torn
But within your spirit, you still have that child within you
It’s still that little boy who screams! For trust, commitment
Even when that golden child becomes you
You’re the same boy who gave life to an innocent man
You’re that boy who wishes to grow up with responsibility
Of one day taking care of his own
But inside, there’s nothing but sad, stormy days
Of one day finding that happy home
And who would have guessed that this little boy grew stronger with each breath
Of one day finalising this journey of happiness, emotion, but lets not forget, death
This poem was based on a true story, of a strong willed young soldier
This poem was about me, the knight in shining armour
This is one of the best poems that I have read in a long time.
