Tormented by his past
And by his open mind
This sad and tired young man
Did try at last and fast
To escape from real life.
Death of young sibling,
Elder brother’s absence,
Gore and agony
Experienced in the past
From a boy who jumped at last.
This is the basic background
Of Holden’s dreadful past
And he of twisted mind
He who feels hopeless
Holden is crying in the inside.
Children game recalled
The Catcher in the Rye
Wishing he was the one
Children’s worriless lives
When everything was alright.
