Newt's Salute

Newt’s Salute 
The Maze
Broke his Spirit.
The fall
Broke His leg.
The Flare Broke His mind.
W.C.K.E.D
Broke Him.
Before it
gets better,
The Darkness
grows, and gets bigger. 
The Person
He’d take a bullet for.
Was the one
behind the trigger.  
If you ain’t
scared,
You ain’t
human they say. 
He was only
a child.
Destroyed. 
By a cruel
world.
You never
realize how important he is,
Until you
lose him.
And you
can’t get him back.
