My Smiles Became My Shield

Hurt and pain lead this boy to the point of death. Only love can rescue Him. He fights the goodness that love brings because of the fear that traps his soul. He resists love because he never had it. This young boy becomes the alcoholic, thief, and suicidal person he never thought he would be. He hides his hurt, pain, and lifestyle, in the smiles he displays to the world. His shield of smiles is now going to be faced with the loving sword that has come upon him... to rescue him from himself.
