Sad Boy Poetry
I guess it's time to write some sad boy poetry
Maybe I can pen the type of things I usually avoid emotionally
Good times and genuine happiness are some things I will one day be able to enjoy hopefully
But until that day comes I'll be writing my sad boy poetry
I experienced love at a time when I was too broken to show it back
I caught feelings just to throw them back
I was comfortable with pain so I kept it
now I'm older I know I should have let go of that
But at times I've been surrounded by people and still felt alone
Didn't want to talk to anyone when I was in public so I just held my phone
Is happiness a lie?, or is it just not meant to be a part of my life?
Girls don't understand why I'm shut off in person even though I show my whole heart when I write
My life has been full of nightmares maybe that's why I have empty dreams
I never fitted in, like Nicki Minaj or Kim Kardashian trying to put on skinny jeans
Typical of me to put a humorous line in a sad poem
Thinking back to when I was numb, maybe it was better when I never had emotions
Monsters in my head, but I survived them all
as a man, when it comes to pain and emotions I've been made to feel I should hide it all
But telling me how to act and what to do, never goes well
The world could be my home, but I treat it more like a hotel
My emotions made me write some sad boy poetry
I was able to write about things that I usually avoid emotionally
Good times are ahead and some things I will be able to enjoy hopefully
But until they come, I'll keep writing my sad boy poetry
