Page 69 - Labyrinth--Suburban Stardust

If you were to meet him now, You probably wouldn’t like him. Always wearing a scowl,
Filled with hate to the brim.
But he wasn’t always like this, He used to be so nice.
Here’s the story of a man
Who is now as cold as ice.
He was the model child
Who everyone wanted to be
He was never rude or vile
And had a happy family
His mother was a lawyer
His father a CEO
He had everything he could wish for Nobody ever told him no
But then it happened so quickly His parents’ divorce
They said it so simply
With almost no remorse
He felt his world was falling
And there was no one there to catch him He was left with only Dad,
Who lived his life on a whim
His father neglected the boy
As he looked just like his mother Treated like an old toy
Lost under the covers
The boy became lonely
He had nobody to turn to
His grades began to drop
And his spirits did too
The boy is now a man
Who walks angrily down the street He turned out just like his Dad With a nice company
He used to be so kind
But he was brought up to be
A cantankerous old man
Who glares at me
