Break the sound barrier boy
Scream your words out loud
Open yourself up wide
Show the world what's "real"
Boy, you're glowing right now
It's clear you're different from most
But what's that restraining you?
Stuck in neutral,
With no sense of direction
It's a one-way street
Right into oncoming traffic
Let it out boy, you're about to collide
It boils down to the simple fact
That we all know you better than that
We see all that you're hiding
Hiding from whatever broke you
What keeps you looking over the edge
Promise not to jump so soon
Hold it together,
As you glide on thin ice
And if it were to crack right now
I'd scream out as you fall
"Boy, you were so much better than this"
Author notes
First poem I've ever written about a male's struggles.
My writing is always female-based.
Just thought I'd try it.
