Behind the wig
Lay grey and thin
Some places bare
Behind the hook
Lay past mangledness
Old accidents
Lessons learned from mistaken
Misguided youth
Behind the man
Lay fear
Time ticking and tocking away
In a place where it holds value to him alone
In a place surrounded by immortal youth
Being forever old
Never achieving death
He has no choice in the matter
He is by nature of the situation
The enemy
He is by virtue of circumstance
The villain
Where others seek to flee to
He finds no vacation from
He is absolute strength
In absolute weakness
Youth stole from him
While age ignores him
He is forever a man
Encased and drenched in it
Surrounded by
Eternal boyhood adolescent
He is forever
Everything they run from
While they remind him
He has no escape
Manhood made vile
