A boy on the run and out of control
confused in his ways a little scared
afraid of it all these troubles he has bared
cant turn back to the boy he once knew
this boy is a man who is now 52
this boy did the crime and was sentenced to time..alone in his cell always wonderd why?
this boy cant change the damage he has done....but he can change the future with the man he has become.........

I agree we can all improve and become a person we can be proud of. Some of us makes mistakes and learn from them. Some of us affect others and don't care. As we grow, we get wiser. Our judgement of right and wrong becomes more acceptable to society. Did this boy have his father? Did he have a positive role model? We need more mentors.

very nicely written. But I have to say that some people don't always change. Some don't want to change from what they have become. Either way I liked you poem!

Nicely written and very good. Its good that you have learned your lesson of life. Its good that you have changed your ways. Although some people can't help what they become because of the life they lived but is really not an excuse. It think its partly the parents fault why their kids turn out to be menses to society. I enjoyed this poem.
