The Boy Who Hated Everything

There once was a boy, who couldn’t love.

He has alot of wants and alot of needs but no love was there in his heart.

He has a heart but it didn’t work the right way.

There was a heart that pumped blood through his body and kept him alive….

But it never fed his soul.

He remained empty, without love and without caring for the remainder of his days.

Days which were many but without meaning.

He never looked for meaning.

He let his loved ones die without thinking twice.

He was a monster.

And thus, the boy became worse than any animal he would not eat.

He was an empty shell. A void.

There was a body, but no conscience.

The boy was not a boy.

Posing as a boy.

Born a first generation American, half Irish Catholic and half Persian Jew, I like to write about a childhood mired in the chaos of never knowing where I stood. The only constants in my life have been reading, writing and a passion for social justice. I am a nurse, a single mother, a domestic abuse survivor, radical feminist and outspoken advocate for logic, public health, gray areas, and purposeful dialogue. I know entirely too much about sociopaths, autism, and medieval British history. I write under a pen name to protect the privacy of my family.
