He's Alright


His feelings were suppressed

He had no love in his chest

Anger was his best friend

And he vowed to protect him till the end

Crying is for sissies

And little missies

Stand up tall when you so speak

Or others will see that you’re weak

Anger was always there

The two made a good pair

Any tears

Nope, not here

His anger fit like a glove

Seeming as if he never received love

Him and his hate

They could be dates

You’re too mean

Your attitude needs a clean

Why do you frown?

You always look down

He may seem quiet

But inside there’s a riot

He’s his own enemy

And he can’t function mentally

His face is plastered with a smile

You probably haven’t seen in a while

It’s fake

That’s your mistake

Can he be fixed

Or are his emotions already too mixed

He’s not a lost cause

He’s just been on pause

Give our man a chance

Instead of your quick judging glance

For he is worth saving

And deserves the love he’s so deeply craving
