The Unknown Person

There once was a person, he was known as a nice, caring teenager.

That if asked nicely would do just about anything for fellow human being.

But below the surface he is in constant conflict on what path to choose.

Whether to go the rocky straight path with the unknown, or the smooth zigzagged path were nothing is expected to happen.

To Begin with, Part of him liked the zigzagged path because it was peaceful, and alone he was sure it was safe, but he also knew it that if he took that path he wouldn’t change into anything more then what he is known as now.

The other part of him wanted the straight rocky path because even though walking it would be hard it was the most direct to what he wanted.

He wanted to know who he was and what he is.

In Addition, As a person he was caring and kind, but under that he has a very dismissive dark side that could care less about the petty people he saw every day.

The two would conflict and fight with each other leaving the teen in a torn on how to act, felt and which path to take.

The direct way to people and possibly happiness, or the zigzagged way to the lonely, safe, depressed way.

In Conclusion, No one knew of his conflict within himself, the never saw it not once.

But, by them not knowing no one could help not with the decision itself anyway.

They did however make it easier as he tried to make up his mind.

HE would listen to music mainly, cheerful music like pop, or some rock, and it would defiantly help soothe the storm raging in his mind. As a result he was able to concentrate and some even helped him understand himself a little. He would sometimes play these songs to see what other people around him would do.

But either they did not notice or did not understand.

It frustrated him not having someone to vent or talk to, and to help him understand who he was. In a lot of ways he was ok, he wasn’t hungry, and always had somewhere to sleep, and usually had something to do. Whether it was video games, or laundry it didn’t matter he was preoccupied from his mind boggling dilemma.

But he was lonely, lonely for a close friends, and maybe a girlfriend or boyfriend.

Even though he had forever to get a partner or companion or whatever you want to call it. He didn’t want one for sex but one to talk to and have help lead him through life but sadly he hasn’t found anyone and to this day he is known as…
