Playing Hard, Feeling Pain
Joyless and nerve-racking,
 An entirely avoidable teenager
 Believes in true love
 Because of the impact and importance
 Of his older sister.
 She is no doubt his evidence.
 Today are his best days,
 Engaged to Whitney 
 At age 18
 He stresses of her emergency
 Overwrought by the truth,
 Ne medical procedures
 The sounds of surgery
 She was fine just this past year.
 His training is routine
 And the purpose is not clear
 But his true love for her
 Is and emotional,
 Heart filled atmosphere.
