How long will it take for you to steal enough from a child so that he has nothing
And how long will it take you to realize that child is an adult because he was forced to give up his childhood
Because a woman in which he called mom even though his real mom he wished wasn't dies in the most silent way destroying his only idea of family
Because a man who is his father is also his armor and that armor is weakening in multiplying rates
Because a boy who is his brother wishes he was an only child and uses every opportunity to remind him
Because a girl who is his girlfriend gives him her all and he feels horrible because he knows he can never always be there for her
Because people who are his friends are inspirations if only he let them in so that they understand that he's tired in a way that can't be fixed with sleep
Because he himself is scared when the only voice he hears at night is his own and it's worse than anyone else.
Because he himself understands the weight of the problem at hand but he refuses to exercise his mind
How long will it take for you to steal enough from a child so that he has nothing
