To Find Him Poem by Mahlubandile Phillips

Look in the shadows
to see he's world
There said to be others like him
a different breed

Whom lurk in shadows
for a home
To find him one must feel alone
only then you'll see he's world

To find him, abandon hope
step into a dark hole
far from light that broke his heart
to a point of no return

A kingdom there he seats on
his throne, no people to give
life, joy, kindness, no friends to bring him
Into the light
no lover to heal a broken heart

When you find him see despair
in his eyes an excruciating roar
goes unheard through the crowd

Maybe holding his hand
can change his mind then
the nightmares would flush out
To hug him would flourish his
kingdom and he'll see the
light

People, friends could show
him to love and abandon
the past to lean on someone
and one day he shall help
seek and find others like
him to heal.
