a new beginning, a first impression, and a way of writing.

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.
