Nicholas: A Poem

Semi-biographical poem for those who are the same way: shy, self-conscious, quiet, and goes online most of the time.

Home-bound

Shy guy

Not into crowds

Mr. Online

I could never open up

To anyone I don’t know of

I could never break my walls

Just for us to talk

I’m introverted

I’m afraid I’m not perfect

I’m very reserved

You should make the move first

Otherwise, this will never work.

Nerd all around

Leads a quiet life

Never goes out

Always stays inside

I could never be loud

I’m just not that out

I prefer libraries and books

Over parties and drunks

I get extremely nervous

When there’s people around us

I like a friend that’s not afraid

To come save my day

Home-bound

Shy guy

Not into crowds

Mr. Online

Nerd all around

Leads a quiet life

Never goes out

Always stays inside

I’m a shy guy

Awkward and anxious

I wish I could try

And not be so self-conscious.

Yes, I'm fine. No, I'm not mad about anything.

Saginaw Valley State University

Revelist

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

A Candid Letter to My Best Friends Ex

Because this is the real form of torture you deserve.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

7. I could be having the best day of my life and my face would still look like this:

8. When people start badgering you with questions if you're ok, you actually do start to become a little irritated and annoyed.
