"Awake"

He stays awake,

 

While the world sleeps.

 

Contemplating the stakes,

 

Of the daily leaps,

 

Thinking of the choices he's made.

 

Trying to make sense of the world,

 

The boy decides the life he trades,

 

The security of her, or the fun of others.

 

He loves her but the timings wrong.

 

What can he do?
