The Sorrows Of A Child Poem by Silver Akira

A child cries alone,
No one bothers to see what is making the child cry,
They don't care if it starves to death,
In so many ways this child is alone,
As the child grows all around him laugh,
He is skinny,
Though it belies his true nature,
He fends for himself allowing no one to come close to him,
He refuses to love anyone,
Even though he would give his life for any child in need,
Deep inside he thinks it's his fault for the pain,
Despite his attempt to hide,
A girl appeared to help him through his troubles,
She was younger than him by a year,
But it didn't matter,
She made his heart leap for joy,
And she gave him hope,
That is until she died,
That's when he lost it,
With an animalistic howl he dropped to his knees and began to sob,
Unlike so many times before he allowed himself to break into pieces,
He was afraid of being alone again,
Isolated,
From a world who didn't even want him,
So he did the only thing he could think of at the time,
He faded away,
No one could find a trace that he ever existed,
Nor could they prove he lived...
For nights he wandered,
Until he eventually passed out to rest until next he was needed.
