The Ballads (Part 1)

Seriously.
Once upon a time, there lived a lad
who was blissfully ignorant of the world 'round him.
He never had to bother with the big things that adults fussed about.
Not once did he even have to think about what he was going to wear for the next day
- for it was all chosen and done for him before he had to care about it.
The boy grew up in this manner until he hit the stage of life
where everyone is neither adult nor child.
The boy got awfully troubled in this period -
for he was neither prepared for it, nor did he have anyone to help him out.
But that was where he was wrong! 
For he had all the companions in the world..
or did he?
His family still pampered him 
doing odd jobs that should've been his
and never once did he think 
"Maybe I should help them out?"
Soon though, it got too late
to fix what was 
for when the time came when the job had to be done,
the trigger to be pulled -
he was the one behind the hammer.

But he couldn't do it.
For he was still the blissful and ignorant little boy, inside and out,
and couldn't bear the shame.
So someone else decided to end his pain.

...Fiiiinnneeee.

Just because you said "please!!" in your mind. 
Hypothetically.

Thank you for bearing with me and shopping at whatever shop you prefer to shop at. )

  1. The 'Ballad' reads likes a contemporary suicide note. Intended I presume. And brings with it the whole host of angst of a Lost Generation created by Overprotective Parenting. Very poignant.
    You find the most interesting pictures too. The one on the Internet is eerily true. So darned true!!!

    The Boy Scouts had it right. 'Be Prepared'. No matter what. :)
