AN: This is my first fan fiction writing, so be gentle

AN: This is my first fan fiction writing, so be gentle. It's not a fan fiction *pout* it's a poem. Anyways this is about Wesley's childhood past based on what we know for a fact from the show and what I've read from fanfic writers. Just a little bit angsty and sort of sad. PLEASE review.

And now presenting *me holding my breath in terror*…

Perfect

* "No father, please I'll be good, I'll be better."*

All those lonely hours

locked away under the stairs

No one held out a hand to you

Statues of angels you pray to

Tears burn down your soul

Emotions locked away for all those years

made to betray your destiny

forced to bury your identity

All too much for you to bear

Fear has stripped your soul away

left you within an empty shell

You long for what you couldn't have

forced down a path you weren't meant to take

forced to hide yourself and the way you want to be

"You were never good enough"

the words ring through you mind

Had to lock up your soul for all the rest of time

had to hide your fears, had to hide your tears away

Had to be the perfect son, had to be the perfect one.

~ E.H.
