Lost In The Shadows ~
A Teen
In Trouble
He was such a bright young boy
For his parents pure delight and joy
His Mother would watch him at play
seeing that no harm would come his way
His parents taught him right from
wrong
and how to keep his spirit strong
Such pleasure watching him grow so
tall ...
He was a good student and loved by all
A great looking kid
as he entered his teens
but was soon filled with self-doubt
and low self-esteem
Struggling as all teens do among his
peers
he started changing and was filled
with inner fears
With lack of strength and loss of
pride
He turned to drugs and the dark side
Engulfed in dark clouds of confusion
his mind and spirit lost to drugged
delusions
He's lost, trapped in a shadowy hell
where only the demons of his soul
dwell
His Mother fights through her tear
filled eyes
for a son who once was so innocent and
shy
As his faith and hope begins to dim
Will he give in to the darkness
surrounding him?
Can he fight these demons of hell
will his strength of spirit prevail
...?
Lost in shadows, forsaken on a path of
his own
Doesn't he know he's loved and not
alone?
As his parents struggle and feel so
defeated
Doesn't he know how he's loved and
needed?
What will happened to this bright
young lad
A son so loved ...
And the pride of his Mom and Dad
A troubled teen lost in the shadowy
dark
while his Mother withers from a broken
heart
As family and friends offer him life
lines
... will they reach this young teen in
time?
