I am Casper Wyatt
And, unlike the character
depicted by child friendly films
I am not dead
I don't smile twenty four seven
And I'm not overly friendly
I do have friends
I do have idols
And I do have feelings
I'm not special
Or exceptionally good at anything
Except maybe
spilling my heart onto a page
I'm often accused
of having a brother complex
My family doesn't approve
of how I dress
Or of how much time I spend alone
I used to play sports
I have two things
I will never apologize for
My choice in music
And my choice in friends
I love and respect my friends
like we are family.
And I listen to my music
Nearly Religiously
Words and sentences
strung together
In a masterpiece
Making me laugh
And making me cry
Making me think
And dream
Of better days
When I first wrote this post
I tried to write a letter
But I found it much too hard
I'm not good at speaking
And telling the truth
Of how I feel
So here's a poem
carved from my chest
I hope you'll never
expect much less
I've written it plainly
and told you the truth
And that's how I plan
To keep this blog going
Still never knowing
What I'm going to say.
