A boy with a gifted life,

Gave little care to the deals he dealt.

Left little for those behind him.

Afraid of so much, and unprepared.

He drew from his strength and survived.

When even he wanted it to end,

He finished his curse all the way through.

People will look at his gifted life.

Marvel at this privileged boy.

But he looks at everyone and fears.

Fears to be them, and fears to be him.
