Nameless Boy

Nameless Boy
Who are you?
An emotionless void with no hopes
No dreams
An empty soul with no feelings
No fears
A forgotten boy
No reason to live
Except to fight the wars of others

Nameless Boy
Where are you from?
A horrible place for a boy
A war
That drains all emotions, all hopes
All dreams
A desolate place that left you empty
Unfeeling
With a forgotten yearning for something more

Nameless Boy
Why are you here?
To fight a war that neither side wins
To destroy innocent people
Unmercifully
Uncaring
To go into battle not knowing your fate
Praying that you die

Nameless Boy
Where are you headed
Down a dark tunnel
No light at the end
To fight one more battle
To take one more life
To try to remember
What it was like to cry
To count the days until Death
Takes you
Delivers you
From the harsh cruelties that life has bestowed

Nameless Boy
What is left
In those empty eyes
And hollow heart?
