A boy once wandered, quiet and still,
Where shadows lingered on every hill.
His heart held whispers, dark and deep,
Secrets buried he couldn't keep.

Though young, his eyes had seen the night,
When laughter faded from his sight.
Bruised by words, and hands unseen,
He walked through worlds where pain had been.

Yet deep inside, a fire burned,
A boy who dreamed, though lessons learned.
He sought the sun beyond the haze,
To warm his soul in brighter days.

Now he stands, ready to fight,
For healing found in open light.
