Shy and Awkward

He was more than just an awkward child
That noone dared to understand 
He was the creator of many worlds
A protector & a friend 
He was more than just a shy little boy
Who tried, but never could fit in
He was the courageous alpine knight
The greatest dragon slayer known to man
He was more than the chair in the corner
Where he spent most of his time
He had to, bullies do love awkward & shy
He was more than just the notebook
That he wrote in everyday
He was a fearless crusader, hunting mythical monsters in dark damp cave
You watched him from the outside
Never once asked to join in
So he gave up on the world 
He quit trying to fit in 
He decided there was no need in crying 
For a world that didn't want him
He built his own worlds
Then filled them with amazing friends
