The problem with beautiful boy

was that his body was his joy

and when it became a broken twisted thing

Boy: his life it did wane

for he based his image

on what the mirror said

and when his ego was no longer fed

Boy: did he wish he were dead

so he took his life in a hotel bed

taking the pills that would erase the pain

and so he passed to the grave

Boy: did he end that way.
