The Center Of Amusement
He was the guy
In the back of the room
The one that was the center
Of the cafeteria’s amusement
Not because of his
sense of humor
It was social anxiety
That made him funny
Yea, it was high school
How should the world know
He sat by himself every day
Eating his homemade lunch
Trying to scarf it down
So he can run to the
Computer lab
With the ladies he was lost
Thank God he found a pen
It never laughed at him
It said all he hid within
It’s been about seven years
And he has shocked the world
He now lets his poetry
Impact thousands of lives
You probably would like to know
Who is this man I speak about
That man is surprisingly me
In the back of the room
The one that was the center
Of the cafeteria’s amusement
Not because of his
sense of humor
It was social anxiety
That made him funny
Yea, it was high school
How should the world know
He sat by himself every day
Eating his homemade lunch
Trying to scarf it down
So he can run to the
Computer lab
With the ladies he was lost
Thank God he found a pen
It never laughed at him
It said all he hid within
It’s been about seven years
And he has shocked the world
He now lets his poetry
Impact thousands of lives
You probably would like to know
Who is this man I speak about
That man is surprisingly me
