Poem
I've lamented my own existence for years Evidenced by my tears and fears I gave a damn too much what other people thought Wondering in me what they might have ever sought I lost myself in the wicked ways of this life Sealing the chains and feeding my own strife But I'm tired of all the games and the blame I've lost years of my life to lame shame Allow me to articulate that I am a man with flaws But that doesn't mean I deserve life's cold jaws I've got a lot to offer this world both inside and out So I'm tired of living in a cloud of doubt This new veil has been lifted like a lifelong curse As I spill my soul to write a brand new verse No more crying and debating and hating my fortunes I'll create my own luck as I sing happy tunes In rhyme I feel in time a shy guy's heart can shine Just scrub the stains and you'll find something divine I've got a golden heart that's been sullied too long And I'll be damned if I don't take a stand and say I belong Just give me a chance to show I haven't lost a step in this dance Because with confidence I'm ready to look for romance And I'm sure I'll fall aplenty even with this knew guise But guys all I can say is my eyes are locked on the skies And as I wind down this last spoken word write My hands are trembling but I'm ready to fight My eyes are filled with tears but I'm filled with might I've lamented my own existence for years Evidenced by my tears and fears But I'm here to say that a shy guy can't just survive In this cold world he will also thrive
