The troubled one

Wed, 06/10/2015 - 13:07 -- MyleneT

This man...

hes troubled..

born and raised in poverty,

raised by an abusive father,

born troubled,

as a child he was never understood,

diagnosed for ADHD,

Then he was autistic.

misunderstood. 

as a teenager he got scared of the world, 

resorted to drugs to make it through,

uncomfortable. 

later voices started appearing in his head,

diagnosed schizophrenic.

Later diagnosed with obessive compulsive disorder.

mentally troubled.

Later in his teens he was victim of gang rape,

it added on homophobia, post tramatic stress, and panic attacks. 

he was a troubled man. 

he resorted to suicide not once, but trice. 

but it was then he met a girl,

she didnt mind the scars on his body, 

the abnormalities he faces mentally,

his fears, his past.

she took away his darkness,

and brought happiness to him,

that eventually he was the one most happy waiting at the alter.
