Caught In A Web

Somewhere along the way, life caught up with him and killed the child inside.  

Adversities of life entangled him and he is no longer his old cheerful self. 

Sitting quietly on the swinging porch, with both eyes fixated on something which is not visible. 

Mumbling unknown words confines himself to solitude yet finds it comforting. 

Yes, everybody has their own battle to fight but no one should face them alone. 

Everybody needs a helping hand; a push or even a nudge. 

When finally he faced the demons of his life, he succumbed.
