Life's Slam (My first attempt at slam poetry)

The boy sits in a chosen solitude,
Drifting, using the guidelines of a life so monotonous, 
Unsatisfied with reality's boundaries,
Constantly hoping for change; Adventure.

Emotionally he is confused,
His heart stands like a pheasant both beautiful but hunted; a Game.
He bleeds empathy and in the mirror he sees many faces,
In his mind lies fantasy, and it keeps him from moving forward,
"Survival of the fittest", he tells himself, withering away; ill in both body and mind.

The three physical anchors keep him tethered.
An ocean as blue as sapphires,
A kite held by childhood friends,
and Half a Family.
Time requires him to switch boats, though the ocean never changes.

All aboard the S.S Apathy.
