The Little boy (Revised)



I once knew this little boy
he used to be happy
he prayed everyday
and had no problems.

This little boy loved himself
and was loved
he believed in himself
and loved to write.

I once knew this little boy
that i dont know anymore
He was stolen by desires
clothed in pain,
drowned in tears
and heartbreaks
and filled with self pity.

I once knew this little boy
that got lost in me.

Some similarities arise between that boy and the one I know.

"filled with self pity"

Leave that for someone else and you'll see where the kid is hiding.

Technically I wouldn't change a thing, not even the lower case "I" mid way through.

I like especially where you put your line and verse breaks Robyn. Perfect.

as for your last comment to me...*shrug* brother I know you're there. I hope school is going well because that is THE most important thing of all right now.
