A boy of 11, once passed through these doors

Now he leaves a man

A man who had to fight a battle

Cause of a scar

The scar that made him legendary

But took away his parents

And now nearly 16 years later the battle is over and won

At the cost of friends and family and everything in between

His eyes once a vibrant green

Are now dull

And have lost the spark they once had

Now they are almost as black as the nights sky

Reflecting the pain and grief he feels inside

But will never show out of selflessness

His actions always show courage and bravery

And they give others the strength to go on

But his actions also hold vulnerability

Which he never experienced as a child

The man he is today is not shaped by fame, glory or money, but of determination to not be what everyone expects of. But rather a person who never experienced love. Until he was told the truth about himself, then he encountered something he had never known exsisted. Friendship. Loyality. Sacrifice. And ultimately love.

He now leaves a man who is loved and who can love back with no reservations

And is not afraid of waking up in the morning and living his life to the full with a family he deserves and now has of his own.
