An Upfront Mystery

He was an upfront mystery

With all the clues for all to see

Did he want to be discovered

Or be hidden by the light?

Either way, he was quite a sight

A broken young man 

With the pieces in hand

They were awkward and shattered

But it hadn't really mattered

For the people around 

Just tip toed to the sound 

That raced their minds

As they kept their problems on the ground

But as an upfront mystery

He looked to inspire 

In all that he could manage be

He was an addict of Christmas

The season and such

Computers and games

To them he would clutch
He stuck to his code
And no one could attest
To all that he had stood for
And he certainly did do his best
But as an upfront mystery
It was all upfront for all to see
And was quite a sight as he walked around
But every thing there was all he could be
The people around didn't know what they could touch
What of him was real?
What was there they could clutch?
How can you know a mystery
If a mystery is all that there could be?
Where's the person in the mystery that stood?
How could they get to the human?
Did they know that they could?
The people around searched for someone they could meet
They searched for a friend
That did more than fill up a seat
A mystery is only good
If clues are there so that it can be solved
Eventually, every one will give up
If there is nothing to keep them involved
He was an upfront mystery
But behind the Christmas, the computers, the games
He was a blank sheet of paper
Resistant to writing and flames
So he met all sorts of people
And left the same way
But the people he left
Not the same they could say
For its hard to work on a mystery
To have it leave you in the history
Letting go is hard if you have cared enough
And the people he left
Saw his lack of care, that was tough
And with the the people that he left

His face was wore down

He became more upfront

With the mystery he laid down

Maybe one day he will see

That he is that, a mystery

For he has tried to hide behind 

His upfront disguise he's used while he's blind

But now he rubs off 

On each detective on his case

How many more will they need

If they want to see behind that face?

Good luck to those people

Willing to search for the man

Behind his upfront masterpiece

And the clues in his hand

But I, I give up

He's a mystery through and through....

If these are the only clues that I have

 How upfront is this dude?
