Tortured Soul





He was too young 
for his years
but old enough 
to understand 
where he stood
 
 
what no one saw 
or experienced
was veiled 
in a cocoon  
of preservation
 
but the cocoon
was soon 
to bloom 
see it 
explode
exposed
but if you looked 
too late 
you missed it
 
Blown away 
and it's
okay.
