Everday he walked by
unknowing
He was passing right by
Everything he wanted
Everything he needed
To escape the torture
He was born into
It tried to cry out to him
It tried to tell him
That it was right there
But the boy heard nothing
His destiny weeped
Long sorrowful tears
Tears of frustration
At it's lack of voice
The boy cried tears
Of frustration
At his lack of destiny
Then on a bright smiling day
The boy found it
Silently
He claimed his new life
