A BOY

A boy from Hastings, Michigan 

Whose mother taught him to love everyone 

Whose father taught him to hate alcohol 

Good willed but burdened by the real world

Strong like his mother


Wearing his heart on his sleeves 

Fighting an endless battle 

Dark and empty roads pave the way

Guided by the ones who are no more

Reaching nothing but the sky


Good willed but burdened by the real world

A boy from nothing

Whose mother taught him to be at peace 

Whose father showed him pain 

A boy from Hastings, Michigan
