soluble in a crowd
of unique ones

words that escape his lips
unviel years upon old scars

he craved to be the focus of their vision
he wanted to disappear into thin air

he smiled and laughed
he cried and fought

his demons took control
and then he was so pure

he wanted to die
he lived to the fullest

one said yes
one said no

one said do
the other said don't

inside his soul
lay a kaleidoscope

and the kaleidoscope twisted
and the kaleidoscope turned

and he wanted it
then he wanted nothing with it

he smiled through the day
he cried through the night

he laughed in the sun
he drowned  in the dark

and he smiled
as a tear rolled down
