The Tale of the Sad Hopeless Young Boy.

I've outstayed my
welcome with them
nothing is right
anymore. such a
pointed flaw early
on. should be done
by now. i can't
stand it, i need
to disappear.
we need to
disappear from
this mayhem,
because the
experienced
do exactly as
they're told
and not
guess...

but out from
the dark stage
out from burning
embarrassing footlights
an unexpected visitor,
and never a stranger
i see the face for a
second and cover my
eyes to fight back
with every morsel
of my anatomy
the bursts of
oceanic tears
i've been
holding
inside for the
longest time.
I don't know
what is happening
to me. whats going
on in my life.
I feel so confused.

But now i open
my eyes and
see the face
of the unexpected
visitor and for
some unexplained
reason, for some
rooted grounding
this sad hopeless
young boy standing
in front of you
staring in disbelief
needs you
more than
ever and kisses
you back with
now no feeling
of utter
despair.
only utter
life with
his head
over top
of his heels
wipes himself
off
and
tries
again.

There's always me." -Elvis.
