being 10 was long ago
but just yesterday with these eyes clenched so glimmer
teeth so big and cowlicks out of control
staple plaid for this boy - anything but plain
a little brokeback lad
before even knowing it
but...... i did
pain behind such pretty little blue eyes
invaded already by a different world
innocence lost before a chance even throttled
a fighter was born
tears only bigger now
fists tighter
being ten was so long ago
