The Boy Inside

Underneath it all is a boy

A little scared, a little lonely

A lot confused

Always ready to please

Perfectly imperfect 

For whom it’s a struggle to accept self

A boy wants to love and be loved

To care and be cared for

For whom everyone’s a friend

Who tries to see goodness in all

A boy who makes mistakes 

Who stumbles and fall

And has been battered and bruised by it all

Who unknowingly takes for granted

And gets hurt in the bargain

Who works hard with what he’s blessed with

Trying to never give up

Or let words and circumstances affect him

But words cut deep and lead to unwanted anxiety

A boy who struggles to sane

And stay stay positive despite the weight gain

Who’s still working to get back to where he’s been

But somehow has gotten lost in what it seems

Who’s trying hard to come to terms with his sexuality 

And reign in the desire that may destroy these

Who unfortunately has a victim complex

He’s a boy that will never give up 

Who will fight till the very end

Who still accepts his flaws

A prays that the world too would do so

He’s a boy that’s never seen

Until you see him through

This is boy that’s within me!!!
