Boy

"Walter, it's time to talk about it" I figure if I never mentioned it, then it never happened Wore a thousand smiles a million times like it was nothing My stomach swelled with thoughts of self-destruction It was 1993, in an obscure house My mother broke and my world fell apart They spoke to me about capes amongst the stars Then lured me with fleer '94 cards Just a boy on that day Just a boy I would pray that one day God would reach out and touch my face But instead it was a stranger That would take every ounce of innocence from me "I'll hurt your baby brother if you ever speak of this" Even if I did, who would believe a homeless kid? Those words ingrained in my soul My world forever changed as they locked the door I closed my eyes, I never spoke Alone in a moment, buried in my mind Now I don't cry, so no one knows Wandering the world with only instinct to survive Here I am Roaming alone Every step filled with shame Ronin: Unknown
