Deep Down

Chapter 14

Chapter 14: Name

I want to know,

His name.

All the teachers,

Call him Mr.Sylvester.

He also seems to be,

Alone all the time,

Even though people gossip and admire him,

No one,

Goes near him.

Why is that?

I'm curious to know,

But my fear to know too much,

Is gnawing at my insides.

The only person,

I can trust is mother,

The only person,

I know,

Is mother.

So far,

School has been going,

As well as it can get.

I go to school alone,

I eat lunch alone,

I come back alone,

But at home,

In the middle of the night,

I'm with mother.

I can't say I'm happy,

But having mother,

By my side,

Makes me content enough,

To look forward to a,

Tomorrow.
