Who killed Steve Snyder?

That inner child? He
Was smothered with a pillow;
He died years ago.

Who killed him? They? Me?
An I would be too active
For such brutal work.

That's how an old soul
Gets started. A young soul gets
Strangled in childhood

While being adult
Enough to know nobody
Will listen to him.

In his fragile pain
A soul older than parents
Is lonely indeed.
