a young man
walks into my office
hysterically crying
emotions that words are indescribable to convey
the feelings he wanted to express
about something eventful that impacted his life
he verbally created an autobiogrpahy to me
about eventful tragedies that impacted his life
he spoke about how him and his father were very close
a rarity to the male species that a man without no external influences
did not fulfill the expectations of being a dead beat dad
he was a father doing what a man is suppose to do
and that's raising his son to be a good man
he recalls every time when the door knob turned
his father will walk in coming from another day at work
he would walk up to his father, kiss him on the cheek, and a hug him saying bendicion papi
they had the usual conversation of how was school ritual
one month later,
he expected that same door knob to turn
expecting his father to walk in from work
but the door remained shut
he thought it was very unusual, but didn't panic
an hour pass, father never showed up to the door
he starts to worry, calling him worriedly leaving messages on his voicemail
another hous passes by
he just happened to watch tv and changed the channel to the news
to hear what no one ever wants to hear
journalist providing a report that a latino man was shot in the face, at close range
it was identify as the young man's father
it was reported that he was on his way home and a wannabe gangsta, whose life in his eyes offer nothing, but defeat ran up on the father, cock, and squeeze, and shot him one time
doesn't take strength to pull a trigger
as the reporter stated, he was pronounce dead at the crime scene
the walls crashed in on the young man heavily
crying out of disbelief
eviction notice that was posted like facebook messages
instagram photos that went viral
next thing you know , he was kicked out of the apartment
transformation of being homeless without permission
he slept on trains 1 through 7
traveling in all boroughs except staten island
trying to find that comfort zone so he can sleep without being harass by cops
kicked by people who doesn't know nor understand about this young man's struggle to restore his life that is utter chaos
he wanted to be an inspiring actor
he loves to dramatize his emotions full of passion, and fire
his father tells him that he's a drama king, but turn that to a strength
the young man became a lost sheep
bewildered in the wilderness
in this case, lost soul that was fatally shattered
through the tragic loss of his father in which someone offered to help
somewhere along the anorexic body lost from not eating
brain that malfunction momentarily due to not being fed with nurture and education
there was hope
when he came looking for me...............
