He walks up to the corner
without a single book
Wearing baggy clothes
his face had a different look.

He looks relaxed and distant
not a worry in his mind
but in his eyes is seen
the truth that lies behind.

Truths of shameless losses
when his goals were in his sights
truths of stress and anger
and many sleepless nights.

He's active out of school
plays sports and all that stuff
he's just a little Sicilian boy,
so he doesn't look too tough.

He's got a group of friends
but enemies are around
he takes alot of ... from them
and does it without a sound.

He speaks his mind too much
and sometimes makes them mad
and all the stuff he hides inside
is just what makes him sad.

He toughs it out alone
and continues to keep going
master of emotions
he keeps it all from showing.

Except selected things
he's loving life so far
even though at moments
it's jsut a bit bizarre.

Bizarreness makes it fun
it brings the unexpected
but days are what you make them
when you get out of bed.

Along with good comes bad
that's jsut the way it goes
what tomorrow'll bring
is what he never knows.

So he lives life for the moment
trying to have a blast
always looking here and now
never in the past.

some say living for the moment is good...

wish I could be the Master of my emotions.

FYI - Asterisks in place of profanity is not acceptable. It's still considered profanity.

Thanks,

Good poem    I can see what you're trying to put across.
