A child was once told "the world is yours for the taking" but how could that be true when this world is always shaking?
Uncertainty and unfairness he saw all around,yet he never really knew how it felt to be down.
Growing up he had everything, all he wanted and more...until that day he had to walk out the door.
Not alone in the world but by himself for the first time he saw the "real world" and felt so blind.
Being sheltered through childhood he didn't realize how good he had it.
Now if only he could go back, away from this tangent. Motionless he stands as he knows it's too late. Now it's up to him to try to find out his fate.

A poem about a boy who leaves his home for the first time, only to realize the outside world isn't as great as it seems.
