Golden hair
Amber eyes
Sees the world
As angry, dark skies

Children tease
The adults stare
He's not like them
It's just not fair

Aching heart
A restless mind
He needs to go
Somewhere to shine

New York's home
City of dreams
Full, big and bright
Like his smile now seems

Teacher sits
Book in hand
Reads many tales
To his favorite lad

Love me
Let's be together
Sensei please
Let this be forever

Hot night
A dark room
The sensei stands
In light of moon

Not alone
Others are there
Words unknown
Heard in his ears

Teacher slurs
Student shakes
A wad of green
Signals man's take

Calloused hands
Pulling of clothes
Student pleads
Teacher let me go

Mind racing
Grab the metal
Stop all this fear
Make the heart settle

Metal flashes
Cries of pain
Destroy them all
For this terrible shame

Loud pops
Red pools around
Nothing is moving
There is no sound

Hysterical tears
Friend's comforting arms
Sweet boy is safe
From this awful harm

Shattered soul
Returning dreams
No more trust
It's just not to be

Golden hair
Amber eyes
Believes in nothing
But hate and lies
