solitary confinement

I don't have any blood connection to this kid. I never even knew he existed before he appeared in my eyes on a rainy Thursday. But as I began to notice his doubtful black eyes, instantly I recognized a person I presume I knew my entire life. ME. 
As seen, he was perfectly contented on doing his own thing and neglecting the presence of other souls in that room. I saw myself in him when I was just a size of a chair where my feet could hardly reach the stable ground I was destined to step into. 
I continued to spy on him while the remorse of my ill-fated childhood came rushing back to me as I began to open and dwell on a past that I personally sealed to prevent myself from entering it once again. 
The past is a lonely time or place or space to visit. 
What worries me at that time was how he would face this cruel world when he is defeated by a mere number of children he was confined with at that stage of his life. I was never a warrior but I wished I was and I wish he is.
