The Beautiful Mind
In the hours of harsh reality and agony
Where life and circumstances confront ruthlessly
Striving hard to survive a day and another
The little boy smiled through the numbing pain.

Too dark to see through the skin
As the wounds inflicted were wide and deep
A young dream budding relentlessly
Will it ever come alive to see the rays of sunlight?

His tiny shoulders shouldering a mammoth responsibilities
Proudly displaying his scars as a badge of honour
He dreamt of a beautiful world someday
Perhaps it is only a test of life he must pass.

The beautiful mind, like an unpolished gem
Will it ever survive to see the patterns of it's beauty?
Broken dreams lay buried in the cemetery of hopelessness
Where even the thorned roses refuse to bloom.
