Little Boy
A little boy, roaming in the shadows of the night in Detroit, had no dream, had no aim; he only knew that he had to face life’s struggles to survive each day. He took his notebook out and scribbled his thoughts into it. The thought about his father crossed his mind again with the rough winds of the roads.
He didn’t even know whether he existed, but he is sure that he had his reasons to leave and never grudged on him even though he and his mom had to face the battles every day. He never knew that this was the beginning of a massive journey for himself as well as the world.
He was sitting at the edge of this shanty shed which provided a roof over to them while his mother was gone for days or neglected his existence for the days she was there. Still scribbling to himself with words and slang he picked up at school, which he instantly hated as he stepped in.
He was a frequent victim of bullying, and he could not get his mind off the incident where he had to drop into a coma for several days at the end of a severe beating at school. Born in Detroit, his life was anything but easy.
