COURAGE, to the boy who sits next to me in class


the pen drops

no words can express your beauty within

crumpled papers lay in the room

a heart sunken in depression and doom

 

I want to tell you something

hey do you wanna hang out

grab a cup of coffee and catch a movie

when iḿ around you I cannot talk

 

what if I choke up on emotion

what if I say something stupid

what if iḿ afraid

What if I lack courage

Iḿ M, I like reading, writing, cooking, acting, and helping others. Good luck to other poets out there, and never give up on your dreams. No matter how hard it seems.
