THEIR IGNORANCE, MY PATH.
From the harsh tone of a father,
To the care of a busy mother.
Troubled by the needs of a lonely child
Bullied by classmates known to be wild.
Insults wake him at morning
Disappointments keeps him at evening.
No siblings to calm his fears
Only son who hides in tears.
Helplessly he finds a friend
When he runs from home to clear his head.
Everything seems to slowly end
When his friend becomes his daily bread.
From the warm blanket of disgrace
Sadness, anger, loneliness, all within the embrace
Moments like this, everyone deserves a friend
And only his prescriptions can amend.
A new feeling, a new hangout
A new playground, more like a hideout.
Others run, while others roll.
Even the street ‘Black-fever’ have the scroll.
A first time for everything
Begins to take you away from everything
As he tries to hide away,
Addiction seems to be the only way.
Confidence begins to play
As he begins to settle things his way.
Even school has a day off
Because hideout work begins to pay-off.
From those running away from home,
To those who lack nothing but attention.
A hideout more than a home,
A jungle with hope and affection.
As friendship begins to break
The only prescription he continues to take.
A little mistake is done
Shocks a mother like a gun.
The uniqueness of a mother’s love
Her tears break his heart
As a new life seems to start
Everything ends with the rule she gave.
A little misunderstanding
Leads to a broken home.
A quick come back notwithstanding,
Takes him deeper closer to the throne.
A depressed father
Goes back to his heart’s bread winner.
As he tries to mend the family
Then, finds truth about his son surprisingly.
The sins of the father called by the son
For the very first time like a gun;
He denies his father
And runs to the family that seems proper.
Form the carelessness of upbringing,
This is what he has become.
He now kills with a gun
For it is how the society is breathing.
A call to you from the other side
Not sure of a bright side,
This is who he is now.
