he once had a bright glow,
deeply cared for them all.
he had nothing to show,
no hope left in his soul.

his aching heart in vain,
his soul need be unchained,
six full years has it been,
since his heart has been grained?

a plethora of change,
he never stayed the same.
he was once filled with rage,
sees the sky dark as gray.

from overdose and ropes,
he tried to take his own.
wishing sky gave him stones,
wanting to end it all.

after years with a swift,
everything changed for him.
no more clues or some hint,
or false words from his lips.

six years ago for sure,
he would've felt afraid,
to love himself and pour,
some kindness to his soul.

and now the child is grown,
who knew he would be here?
standing proud in his own,
without having to fear.
