His heartaches
his soul whimpers
the look of helplessness
a gasping breath of anxiety.

An uncertain boy
an unsteady walk
the lowering of his chin
the dragging of his feet.

Beautiful brown eyes
hidden by dark shades
pearly white teeth
hidden behind a still expression.

They may wonder
they may suggest
and the obvious
appears to go unnoticed.

An uncertain boy
an unsteady walk
the lowering of his chin
the dragging of his feet.
