I knew a boy who liked to draw,
he drew pictures that nobody saw.
he was most artistic late at night,
in the bathroom, out of sight.
he kept a secret nobody knew,
he didn't tell a soul and his gallery grew
his drawings were different,
no paper or pen,
but needed a bandage now and again.
we stood by the river under the stars,
he rolled up his sleeves and showed me
his scars.
he felt embarrassed and looked down
at his shoe,
then I rolled up my sleeves and whispered, " I draw too"
