Leaky Faucet


"Boys don't cry"

Has been my recent state of mind

But I'm sure that it must be a lie

Because now I'm flooding on the inside

I am leaking from the outside

And I am plenty of a boy

I need an outlet. My poetry is poor, and free verse.... but I'm a strong believer that poetry is just emotions. If I feel something when I write it must be poetry. If you feel something when you read it it must be poetry.
