for he has been betrayed.
Alone,
he convinces himself
this is what he wants,
what he needs,
what must be.
Shallow surface
that no one sees beneath.
Cocky flyboy;
irreverent,
rebellious.
Rejected.
Pushing away the hurt,
the pain,
the memories of death;
lost people,
lost hope.
Just…lost.
Until he flies
and is nearly shot down…
Until he sits
and technology responds…
He leaves behind
no one.
And reaches out
into the unknown…
And is found.
