Torn Poem by Johnathan Todd

18 years ago

a baby was born

brought into this world

torn

fighting for life

asking for a chance

to live the right life

to experience romance

wanting nothing more

than something warm

something to love

something to perform

he wanted a life

good or bad

it didn't matter

just to say he had

he started a fighter

and somewhere still is

but he hides it so well

just because it's his

still figuring out

the point of all this

living life normal

pursuing the bliss

18 years old

with nothing to lose

everything to gain

and a future to choose
