the unexpected
Greeting from the past, of one he would never expect,some one that saw him as a constant reject.Words that stirred painful thought in his mind,left the hurt in the memories in constant rewind.Spoken like a fool but cut leaving wounds of life,Staggering ones ego fuel his inner strife.Four years of heckling, and crude comments meant to condemn one boy,then when all seemed lost the kid left to find his joy.In a land that held to friendship and a true survival skill was to be learned,and through long talks and compassion he found many friends he had earned.Looked up too, and some taken the advice the boy had said,some was good and others left most in dread.Using compassion and a firm grasp of communication of what he thought was right,he soon took to others to end any and all fights.Cocky he still ran with an ego that would never back down to no one,and before long he found out what right he had done.Then came the time to go back to the hell he knew as school,Where he used to be anything but cool.He took his date by the hand and lead her to the prize he worked so hard for,and while he walked in everyone knew he was not the boy from before.He still had his sarcastic nature and fight that he catered to in the past,but the aura around him left an impression that hit fast.Holding himself with dignity and confidence he took his place at their side,Knowing in the end he had nothing to hide.He got his diploma, and told the nay-sayers to go to hell,and left the past and walked away from school he thought was a cell.Never looking back, and not caring if he ever saw those people once more,he went back to visit his brother and family where he roamed before.Then it happen a soul gave him food for thought about the years he felt the pain,and a surprise happened when a person asked for forgiveness for the strain.He nodded and walked away feeling a different way,for he was never any ones prey.
