Desperation

Ah, life. This was around the time when I was introduced to more free-form poetry (if only I could find my first free-form poem)

He's desperate,
Too much so for words
He hurts inside,
But knows not how to deal with it
They've tried to help him,
Though his mind is set
He's tried and tried,
But so far failed
She's happy with another,
and he's too young
Others try to tell him,
But he won't listen
It could lead to misery,
Or something known
Desperation
