He's Still There



He’s still there;
                the kid with history
                good times and bad
                success and failure
                hard times and triumph.
He’s still there;
                who he is because of who he was
                proud he overcame
                glad in who he is
                glad in what he’s done.
Yes, he’s still there;
                in isolation and crowds
                in isolation IN the crowds
                with friends – or not
                in confidence – or fear.
Yes, he’s still there;
                the kid who’s quite afraid
                who fears accusations of wrong
                who oft feels guilt even absent wrong
                who isolates himself by that fear
That frightened kid; yes, he’s still there.
