Hardly makes sense.

I both never knew this boy, and knew him as I knew myself.


He is so strong. He bears more than we know. This boy. Hardly regrets, never forgets.

Understands and sees all that spins around him. Distracted by lights and things that flutter.

Wise, but not old. Young, but never naive.

So many wish to help him, to come to him when he seems hurt. But it's rarely needed.

So much like a bird.

Sewn into his spine. Bleeding into his veins. Pouring out his mouth. Seen in his finger tips.

The respect he demands! unspoken demand. Knows when to be silly, but when tensions SHIFT; becomes as serious as the rights he defends. HE would die for his beliefs! As his sweatshirt says.

 Loves the night, adores a good song, and a strong cadence.

Sad, but so easily finds happiness in the little things.

So strong, but seems so weak; was never weak.
not one for comfort, but always gives off a sense of safety to those he listens too.


I never knew this boy, but I know him.

Only lets you see what he wants you to see.

He makes mistakes. But rejoices over them as he does his accomplishments.



OH, the respect he deserves, the happiness he brings to those around him.

Hardly perfect. Rarely; completely kind.

This boy. I never knew. But I know him.
