Poem about a broken boy

He walks with a heavy heart,

A burden he cannot shed.

His eyes hold the pain of the world,

And a sadness he cannot shed.

His laughter is but a whisper,

His smile but a distant dream.

He's a broken boy, searching for light,

In a world that's not as it seems.

He's been through so much pain,

And suffered more than most.

But still, he battles on,

Hoping to find a brighter coast.

He's just a broken boy,

With a heart that's lost its way,

But still, he'll find the love,

That will light up his day.

So here's to the broken boy,

Who battles on despite,

May he find love and happiness,

And heal from his sad plight.

May the world treat him kindly,

And show him a better way,

And may he find his laughter again,

And smile each and every day.
