The Boy and the Devil

A boy,
Was left out by his family,
Living together, yet it feels like living alone.
Like a ghost.

The parents never cared.
The parents never though about the boy.

The boy,
Was living alone.
With no friends.
With no knowledge of happiness is.
Without knowing what is love.
But he did not complain.
He just kept quite.

Day pass by;
The boy sit alone in the corner of his room,
Watching the sky through the window,
He saw a group of family playing together at the park,
They were happy.
Really happy.

He feels empty.
He cried for the first time ever.
A silent cry - that no one will ever know.

He heard his mother screaming curse at him.
He heard his father going out of the house.
He was confused.
He was on the verge of breaking down.

A devil came and try to persuade him - giving him a drink,
A drink that will end his suffering.

The boy drank the drink.
A cup full of poison.
A cup that made him feel free.

The boy is free now;
Free from the suffering.
Free from the family that he despise.
