Constellations Of The Mind

The Nameless Boy

Don't look at him; he'll only hide his face.

Don't speak to him; he'll only pretend he cannot hear you.

Don't try with him; he's unfixable.

Just don't.

He has no name, and he lives within us all.

He is the voice that cracks, the shadow that hides, the part of you that doesn't let anyone in.

He sits in the most narrow crevice of our minds; there he weeps silently, but violently.

Screaming, thrashing, falling limp when things go wrong.

He doesn't wipe his tears; he feels he deserves to suffer.

Make that boy care.

Help that boy.

After all, he is a part of you.

So, really, you'd only be helping yourself.
