He looked into a mirror.
He saw:
A punnet of stereotypes and problems
All untidily wrapped
in raggy, baggy clothes.
He went looking for answers.
But all he got from following people whose faces were plastered with a mask
Of indifference and apathy,
Was criticism.
Criticism that neither helped nor encouraged him,
Instead grinded him down inside.

But all he got from following people whose faces were plastered with a mask
Of indifference and apathy,
Was criticism.
Criticism that neither helped nor encouraged him,
Instead grinded him down inside.
