The Boy Who Cried

The boy indeed cried wolf

The wolf a coverup for true intentions

The boy cried for help

Help from sinking into himself

Seeking validation from strangers

Wanting to be seen by all

The boy cried out

Cried over isolation

Attempts of acknowledgement,

Now denied

The boy cried,

Tears shed due to insolence

Sought out acknowledgement,

Now in the belly of the beast
