This Boy Poem by candice freeman

he don't know what the meaning of love is because he has never experience it
his mom and dad are broken apart
his new step dad is such a mess
no one seems to care about him
his little step brother looks up to him
but he does not want him to turn out like him
he is hurting
he is alone
i can see it by the way he moves
and the look in his eyes
he don't really find his house to be a home
cause whenever he walks through does doors
you meet the noise of quarreling and fighting
he looks at me with sorrow in his eyes
and when he's with me i slowly see his happiness beginning to shine
thats why i can't leave his side cause this person has not had real love for quite some time
