That Night


 The other night, with his eyes half open, he was dreaming of the present and the future. Fathoming hints hidden in the subconscious mind, and seeing what was to come next.

The other night, with his eyes closed, he was dreaming of the present. Wondering where he was heading in life. What he once had and never cared for, today he longed for that.

The other night, with his eyes open, he was dreaming of the past. Pondering over what went wrong, and why he was suffering though it wasn't his fault.

The other night, he was quite. The eerie calmness pointed to the lull before the storm. Like a volcano, he will burst one day. There's too much for the little shoulders to take. When boys of his age are having fun, he is battling a war on the personal front.

And now, every night, he doesn't dream, he doesn't think... he doesn't sleep.
