What's a Little Boy To Do [You'll Never Know]

A little boy standing alone
Center of attention in an empty silent room
Like twiddling life away
Waiting for the fist that never goes away
You'll never know

A scene of profanity
Bruise marks dotting the crime
But what's a boy to do

He paints a masterpiece across his face
All the way around, below, above, and aside
Canvas to His weakness
His fragile little letdown let-out
But you'd never know

A play on killed innocence
By the sight of bloody tragedy
A boy with no mental boundaries

Scarring his life He never lets up
Counterexample to a simple conjecture:
'What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.'
Mentality dies, emotion breaks in two

But what's a little boy to do

Author notes

First attempt at anything concerning abuse.  Notice the capital 'he's, those are to identify the abuser.  Yeah.  Inspired, unfortunately, by a very close friend.  You know who you are.  Of course he's a lot older now, almost twenty, but you how that stuff goes.  Uhm.  I think it's terrible but I think it turned out better than I ever thought it would be.  Mmm.  Of course it's lacking a bunch of stuff because I've never been in this position luckily, but.. I don't know, you'll never know until you try, so I tried.  There.

    It was ok... You got the point across on self-abuse, and the whole what dont kill you makes you stronger thing, was a good addition. Over-all, it wasn't your best but wasn't your worst either, it was in the middle. Good Job, you did just good enough for an applause :]
